If this brings ‘no response, get out and yell to the top of your voice. If you find it necessary to go inside the house, slam the door, stomp in and flop on the davenport and prop your feet on the cof- fee table. Girls should never apply make-up until they are in a resturant or on the dance floor. If you go to a movie, pop your gum so that everyone around you will move. If you can't see, stand up in the seat or pound on the person's head in front of you so he will move. When your girl stops to cemb her hair after the show, run and hide from her. If she finds you, start running and have a little game of hide and seek. After you have eaten, tell your date you have no money with which to pay the bill. The boy should remember to leave his girl out on a street corner and make her walk homee Then her parents cannot blame you for bringing her home late.
