Marine Date

Two widows are talking at the Bowling Alley.

Martha says, "That nice Steve Hofkin asked me out for a date. I know you went out with him last week and I wanted to talk to you about him before I give him my answer."


Edna says, "Well, I'll tell you. he shows up at my apartment punctually at 7 p.m. Dressed up like a such a gentleman in a fine suit. And he brings me such beautiful flowers! Then he takes me downstairs and what's there but a beautiful car.....a limousine, uniformed chauffeur and all. Then he takes me out to dinner...marvelous dinner - lobster. Then we go see a show. Let me tell you, Martha, I enjoyed it so much I could have died from pleasure! So then we are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL!! Completely crazy. He tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with me two times! He's a retired Marine you know!"

Martha says, "Goodness gracious... so are you telling me I shouldn't go out with him?"

Edna replies, "No...I'm just saying, wear an old dress."
