Oh man

On Friday I'm going to go on a blind double date, it seems. I'm really not quite sure of the circumstances, to tell you the truth. My friend Min went over the details about 5 times last night, as he tends to do when he's had a little to drink, and it seems to me that on Friday he is going out on a blind date with a girl (or is it a date with a girl he met 6 months ago?) Many of the details were lost in translation. Anyways, he wants me to come along because another friend (or is sister) of the girl is going to come along as well, so it will be a double date of sorts.
Regardless of who is coming and who isn't, one thing that is clear is that I must dress nice, and I must be clean shaven, and I must be "funny, polite Ryan." Dressing nice is easy, and being polite isn't too bad. Being funny is another thing. It may be difficult to do with a language barrier between me and everyone else, as I've found out before on occasion. However, armed with newly acquired phrases such as "No problem" and "I don't know", I'm sure I'll be the hit of the party. People will be flocking to me to hear me say "I'm from America" and "Yes, thank you."
I figure I got two days to learn "A guy walks into a bar..." so that I may complete my repertoire.
