The Screw
-------------------------

It's the Spring of 1957 and Bobby goes to pick up his date. 
He's a pretty hip guy with his own car. When he goes to the 
front door, the girl's father  answers and invites him in.

"Carrie's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" he 
says.

"That's cool," says Bobby.

Carrie's father asks Bobby what they're planning to do. 
Bobby replies  politely that they will probably just go to 
the soda shop or a movie.

Carrie's father responds, "Why don't you two go out and 
screw? I hear all  the kids are doing it."

Naturally, this comes as quite a surprise to Bobby, so he 
asks Carrie's dad  to repeat it.

"Yeah," says Carrie's father, "Carrie really likes to screw;
she'll screw  all night if we let her!"

Well, this just made Bobby's eyes light up, and his plan for
the evening was  beginning to look pretty good.

A few minutes later, Carrie comes downstairs in her little 
poodle skirt and  announces that she's ready to go. Almost 
breathless with anticipation, Bobby  escorts his date out 
the front door.

About 20 minutes later, Carrie rushes back into the house, 
slams the door  behind her, and screams at her father: "DARN
IT, DADDY! IT'S CALLED THE  TWIST!"
