A young man is going on his first date. His father gives him a little pre-date advice:
"Now son, sometimes these things can get a little awkward. If the conversation stops, try to remember three topics that will always get things going again: food, family, and philosophy."
"OK, Dad."
So they're on the date, just sitting awkwardly, and neither one of them really had anything to say. Then the boy remembered his father's first piece of advice.
"Say Tina, do you like tuna fish?"
"Not really."
"Hm."
And then awkward silence. Then the boy remembered his father's second piece of advice.
"Say Tina, do you have a brother?"
"No."
"Hm."
And back to silence. Then he remembered his father's third piece of advice.
"Say Tina, if you had a brother, would he like tuna fish?"
