About this Quote

This quote by Emo Philips is an amusing take on the conventional proposition process. The speaker is asking his girlfriend to marry him, but rather of getting a direct response, she suggests they ask her father. The speaker then takes it to the next level by recommending they have a seance to ask her father, and the reaction they get is from Jack Ruby, a well-known figure in American history. This quote is poking fun at the idea of requesting authorization to wed, as well as the concept of interacting with the dead. It is an easy going method of taking a look at a major circumstance, and it is a suggestion that even in tough times, it is important to discover humor in life.
