  My biggest problems here are the phrases “no objections” and “evolve”.

  • “No objections” is unhealthily controlling. You absolutely can object, and it’s gross that he seems to think you can’t.

  • “Evolve” makes it sound like people who don’t go on dates are somehow not as human as the rest of society, and are not doing what they’re “supposed” to be doing. I don’t like that either. It strikes me as being in the same vein as how you’re “supposed” to be heterosexual, and get married, and have children. Because that’s what “normal” humans do.

  If those two phrases weren’t in the response, I’d find the situation weird, but not overall objectionable.

  It’s your dad’s attitude toward you that feels wrong, not the date itself.

  I wouldn’t have said this is Far Side. This doesn’t look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.

  Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I’m a fan.

  The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any “idee” (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking “idea about what?”

  We’re not at the height of comedy here.

  That’s not how you spell lettuce.

  Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)

  Nope. Especially not in Texas in the summertime. The pipes are close enough to the surface that they warm up (unless you have well water, which is always cold).
