3. Favorite Firearm Forum?
4. Drive American or Foreign?

5. What is the Second Amendment?
6. Eat Grits?
7. Love Dogs and Horses?
8. Eat Grits?
9. Favorite Firearms
10. Favorite T.V. programs
11. Eat Grits?
12. Does He give Firearms and Whiskey for presents?
13. Favorite song is "God Bless America"?
14. Does he put anything on Grits except butter or red eye gravy?

As to #14:
I'm color blind and once put maple syrup on my grits at a buffet --- I thought I had red eye gravy till that first bite.
They actually asked me to leave.

I guess you're lucky he didn't say " Iz yo new son-in law"

Cheese belongs in grits. And salt.

If you can't handle chesse grits, then I dunno what to tell ya.

Yeah, I went the traditional way. He asked what took me so long to ask.

But my younger son's brother in law did it differently. He's a pretty good kid. Just got his commission in the National Guard. And wanted to become a cop. So before he asked her, he got his future FILs approval. Then he asked her two cop brothers for their approval, too. It seems that anyone with the class to ask almost automatically gets approval. It takes a real **** to not get it. On both sides.

And I only know of one situation where the old man said no. The couple were both nice, they were out of school and had good jobs. The father just wasn't ready yet to lose his daughter. So you know what the couple did the next day? Yep, they eloped. He apparently went to his girl and explained he wanted to marry her, but her dad said no. She wanted to get married too, so they did. I think that shows strength of character. I have no idea if either of my son's asked their prospective FIL beforehand.

I had it easy. My future father-in-law pre-approved of me. I was going to his church and singing in a Gospel group. His daughter was going with fellers he didn't approve of. He asked her, "Why don't you get to know Gary?" She said, "I don't like him, he looks too old." He said, "Yup, you'll fly around a rose and land on a cow pie every time!"
But I grew on her like a wart and she's been with me for 40 years now and I still look too old.

Congratulations!!! Sounds like he atleast demonstrated some respect and common courtesy.

My plan in that situation is to place a full size 1911 .45acp on the table between us.

I think he'll get the meaning attached!!

You were lucky that they didn't have a rope handy!

That must be a "FLORIDA" thing.
