A Disastrous First Date
1 My first date with Donna was a disaster. 2 I decided to take her to a small Italian restaurant. 3That my friend had told me had reasonable prices. 4 I looked over the menu and realized I could not pronounce the names of the dishes. 5 Such as “veal piccante.” 6 Then, I noticed a burning smell. 7 The candle on the table was starting to blacken. 8 And scorch the back of my menu. 9 Trying to be casual, I quickly poured half my glass of water on the menu. 10 When the waiter returned to our table. 11 He asked me if I wanted to order some wine. 12 I ordered a bottle of Blue Nun. 13 The one wine I had heard of and could pronounce. 14 The waiter brought the wine, poured a small amount into my glass, and waited. 15 I said, “You don’t have to stand there. We can pour the wine ourselves.” 16 After the waiter put down the wine bottle and left. 17 Donna told me I was supposed to taste the wine. 18 Feeling like a complete fool. 19 I managed to get through the dinner. 20 However, for weeks afterward, I felt like jumping out a tenth-story window.
