Lisa, a 16 year old girl, nervously brought her most recent boyfriend home with her to meet her parents.  Although Lisa was very fond of him she was nervous about what sort of  impression he’d make on her parents.  After all, he was full of tattoos and rings all over his body.
“Mom,” said Lisa nervously, ” I would like you to meet  Spike, my boyfriend, Spike this is my Mom.” After a few minutes of small talk and pleasantries, Lisa’s Mom called her over and whispered “Lisa, I don’t like him, he just doesn’t seem very nice!”
“Mom please!” retorted Lisa, “if he’s not a nice guy how can you explain the forty hours of community service he does a week?!”
