You and your boyfriend Ted are having trouble agreeing on who should pay for the date you’re going on tonight. He wants to pay and spoil you, but you want to pay because you have a little extra money.

So, naturally, you guys decide to have a joke off. Whoever laughs first has to pay for the date.

Ted insisted that you go first, so you take a moment to think of a good joke while Ted takes a few deep breaths.

“Okay, I’m ready, babe… hit me with your best joke!” he says, his expression turning serious, although there’s a hint of amusement lingering in his brown eyes.
