The simple rules of dating A farmer, Bill, finds out that his three daughters all have dates on the same night. Being protective, as a father is of his girls, he does the respectable thing, and walks to the door each time with his shotgun. At 7pm, the doorbell rings. Bill answers the door and asks the boy there what he wants. The boy nervously says ""Hello sir, I'm Eddie. I've come to get Betty. We're going out for spaghetti. Is she ready?"" Bill decides this boy has good intentions and lets Betty go out. At 8pm, the doorbell rings again. Again, Bill walks to the door with his shotgun and questions the boy. He answers ""Hello sir, my name is Lance, and I've come to take Nance to the dance. The theme is Paris, France"". Bill decides that Lance is also a nice boy and lets them go on their way. Finally, at 9pm, the doorbell rings as his last daughter's date arrives. Bill opens the door and sees a delinquent-looking kid. He asks him what he plans to do with his daughter. The boy replies ""Hey Pops, the name's Chuck, and I like to-"" And Bill shot Chuck.
