FOUND by Debbie Porterfield

I found this message typed on a 3x5 card tucked into my dad's Complete Works of Shakespeare college textbook.

Debbie-
This is hilarious, it should definately make the book.
Does your birthday happen to be in March?
I just cannot get over this . . . it is a little too good.
Wow, for someone who needs a wife so quickly, they sure are being a little picky. Besides, anybody who had two dates that went well enough to write references for them wouldn't be looking for a man through random typed cards.
is your dad a minister?
So, did your dad marry the guy or what? I need to know.
nice, dwayne! my dad, the ministerial student, didn't get married for another 15 odd years after that card was typed. also, my mom is a woman.
I wonder if it was a joke to his girlfriend or something...and why June 10?
I would hate to meet the guy who wrote this ad. Any woman will do, doesn't matter how he feels about her (or vice versa), he just needs a warm body by graduation (June 10) or at least "by conference time"--when the church/seminary he's studying for gathers together for a week of meetings, and he might be able to interview for a job. He feels he has to have a wife to be more marketable. Pathetic loser is written all over this card. If he spent all that time in seminary and didn't manage to find a marriage partner, he'll take what he can get? Oh, that's a lovely basis for a marriage! I don't think.
I've actually met guys who based their choice of marriage partner on their housekeeping/breeding skills...feelings came a long time later. Ugh.
weres the number
