There
once was a young man who went to his girlfriend’s house and
said to her father, “Sir, may I ask your permission to marry
your daughter?” And the father said, “No way. There’s
no way my daughter is going to marry an actor. That’s final!”
But the boy begged him, “Please, before you make a final decision,
would you at least go to see me perform tonight and then decide?”
So the father said, “OK, fair enough.” So that evening
the father took his daughter to the theater to see the young man perform,
and after the performance, he took his daughter backstage into the
young man’s dressing room and said, “OK, you can marry
my daughter, no problem.” The young man was beside himself and
so happy that he said, “Yes, sir, but why?” And the father
said, “Because you’re no actor.”
