Which brings up another point, Blast!

When the boys come courting your daughters, use some of my techniques.

1) Post a copy of the "Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter" on their living room wall and direct the "prospective Beau's" attention to it.

2) Be cleaning your guns, knives, and swords.

3) Be sure to make the comment, "You know son, I haven't been able to legally kill anyone since the _______ war back in 19__. I do miss the thrill!"

4) Also be sure to mention that if your little girl doesn't return home on time and intact, "that you look forward to hauling his body among the many thousands of acres of woodlands that you have access to, with a shovel in the other hand."

I never had a problem arise with my daughter being brought home later than what was agreed to, and she was intact. Of course, I also had my Shadow Box hanging in their Living Room for him to see.

There are ways to handle all problems!!!!!
