View Full Version : Rules for dating an NCO's daughter....

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.


Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.


Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.


Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."


Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.


Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?


Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.


Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. On issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.


Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

While my father is not an NCO, he pretty much could have written that whole thing. Must be something all daddies have in common when it comes to their little girls. I recently got a Rodney Atkins CD, and I had to laugh out loud when I heard these lyrics:

"Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)"

The declaration of independence
Think I can tell you that first sentence
But then I'm lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I had pounded in my head that I forgot
I don't remember all that spanish
Or the gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forgot

[Chorus:]

Come on in boy, sit on down
And tell me 'bout yourself
So you like my daughter, do you now
Yeah we think she's something else
She's her daddy's girl and her mama's world
She deserves respect, that's what she'll get, ain't it son
Now y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleaning this gun

Well now that I'm a father
I'm scared to death one day my daughter's gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be
Who seems to have just one thing on his mind
She's growing up so fast it won't be long
'fore I'll have to put the fear of god
Into some kid at the door

[repeat chorus]

It's all for show, ain't nobody gonna get hurt
It's just a daddy thing, hey believe me man, it works

[repeat chorus]


THAT is my father.....he always said he was going to be cleaning his guns anytime we brought a boy home haha

More of a "fear of the unknown" factor with a good punji pit.....

But as I've told LOH many times since our daughter was born, I WILL be the father sitting on the deck cleaning my rifle when a boy comes to call.

Doesn't seem to be a need for bullets.....just the sight of the gun there does the trick ;)

Gun on the deck?


How's about something more personal?


A nice sixteen inch Bowie, scraping across a well oiled whet stone, always makes a good first impression.

Oh, and don't forget the basket of apples, one meticulously peeled as you make small talk with the gent.

The neighbors usually complain if you bust a cap after you are done cleaning the gun.

Oh that was my dad alright. He was a cop. Try dating a cops daughter. All the officers follow you car, if one of my boyfriends went a mile over the speed limit they were stopped. I got married at 17 and lived in Germany. It was as far away as I could get from him and his buddies. :rolleyes:

My father loves taking pictures, especially pictures of nature. He bought a lens once for his camera that actually several feet long. It was used to take extreme close up of things, like shy animals, that you couldn't actually get close to.

Well, he'd just gotten that lens a day or two before my prom so when prom night came up, he was still messing around with it, playing with his new toy.

My date turned up and went white. You could literally see him lose his breath for a moment. Later, on the way to the prom, I asked him about it...and he said from the window, seeing my dad with that camera lens, he really thought my dad was waiting with a shotgun! :p

Like Bill Engvall says "You pull the boy in nice and close so only the two of you can hear the conversation.... and say 'you see that little girl over there.... that's my baby.... and I have no problem going BACK to prison.'"

I've seen a lot of spin-offs of this one. I think it started out with eight rules and was expanded by others.

Here is the 1998 original (http://www.wbrucecameron.com/columns/8rules.htm) written by Bruce Cameron. :)

Many other versions are here and some have reattributed (http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=rules+for+dating+my+daughter) the original to Mr Cameron. It is now a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312081/combined) (oops, a series and a book (http://www.wbrucecameron.com/books/8_rules.htm) ) too!

I don't think anyone can claim that as original. The first place I saw it was on the wall in my First Sergeant's office at FT Hood in 1990 or so.

My dad never had a gun but would introduce them to the door, the window and then say you ever hurt her and you will leave my house but not by either of those the 3ft thick wall is your exit point or burial ground you choose.

I never had a boy break my heart..... Thanks da!
