lemon law
one of my favorite new shows on tv is one from ETC titled "how i met your mother." it essentially is a story about a guy who, at the start of every episode, talks to his kids about his bachelor days and... how he met their mother! then the story shifts to the days when he is single and on the dating lifestyle he had.
there are other characters in the story, none funny than his bestfriend; a single doctor who is always chasing girls (you know him by the way as the person behind the hit sitcom from days back: doogie howser m.d.)!
this guy actually came up with something very funny. he termed it as the lemon law. the lemon law states: during the first 5 minutes of any date, you must decide whether you want to commit the rest of the night with a guy/girl. if you do not want to, then cut the date short; apply the lemon law!
quite funny really! just think how somebody would say to his/her date: i would have to apply the lemon law on you! sorry! hahaha!
its just sad that we can't apply this in our society here in manila. we filipinos are too much of a nice guy/girl. not that i would apply the lemon law myself when out on dates. i would have probably gone through with the date still and be every bit of a gentleman (i.e. be courteous, be funny, laugh with her, pay the bill, accompany her home). but if you think about it, the lemon law would save you (and most likely your date) time of just going through the motions.
so, i would like to amend the lemon law a bit. the lemon law can only be applied on select cases: blind dates or with someone who you just met a couple of minutes before or with someone who is outwardly rude.
at the end of the day, if going through on a date might not be of your best interest, you might still come away with a friend in him/her. if he/she persists after that date? then tell him/her the lemon law!
