The English language is perhaps one of the more difficult languages to learn and we may spend a lifetime trying to master it. From the time that we are very young, however, we may begin to use it to communicate but things don’t always come out exactly as we would like. At times, a single word can really make a difference in the point that we are trying to get across and it can lead to some rather uncomfortable situations if were not careful. That is exactly what happened in the following joke, one that will leave you laughing.
It’s the Spring of 1957 and Bobby goes to pick up his date. He’s a pretty hip guy with his own car.
When he goes to the front door, the girl’s father answers and invites him in.
“Carrie’s not ready yet, so why don’t you have a seat?” he asks.
“That’s cool,” says Bobby.
Carrie’s father asks Bobby what they’re planning to do.
Bobby replies politely that they will probably just go to the soda shop or a movie.
Carrie’s father responds, “Why don’t you two go out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it.”
Naturally, this comes as a quite a surprise to Bobby, so he asks Carrie’s Dad to repeat it.
“Yeah,” says Carries father, “Carrie really likes to screw, she’ll screw all night if we let her!”
Well, this just made Bobby’s eyes light up, and immediately revised his plans for the evening.
A few minutes later, Carrie comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt and announces that she’s ready to go.
Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby escorts his date out the front door.
About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Carrie rushes back into the house, slams the door behind her, and screams at her father:
“DAMMIT, DADDY! THE TWIST!! IT’S CALLED THE TWIST!!!”
