Wait, he went to his prom on a blind date? Wonder how much his parents had to pay her?:

The last time I was this nervous in this fashion, I was awaiting my blind-date for the Junior Prom..
Yes... my date for the prom contracted mono...not from me I might add...and was incapacitated about a week before the "Big Event". My Mom's boss, an interesting lady, told her that I should call this girl who lived about 2 hours away. I called her and she was amenable and we decided to give it a shot. I will never forget getting dressed in a tuxedo for the first time ever, by myself, because my mother worked Saturday nights and no one else was around, and awaiting her arrival...
I actually thought even at the age of 17 that I was going to have a stroke any minute. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I couldn't breathe. I was scared to death about just about everything as you can imagine: What did she look like? How will she act? What if she finds me repulsive? What will I talk to her about? I had never been on a blind date, I probably had only been on a handful of 'dates' if you wanted to call them that in the Sixties. No support from anyone at all whatsoever in my family for a variety of weird reasons...
And so I sat waiting and asking myself all these questions and more and dreaming up scenarios which were simply awful.
And so I sit today, asking myself what's going to happen tonight...after all, it's only the fate of the Western World, right?

Oh...you probably are curious after reading all that how it turned out...
She was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on to that point in my entire life...she was friendly and a bit quiet...I don't blame here for that....but some of the hotshots came up to me during the dance and shook my hand without saying a word. Yay! for me...for once...
It was a long time until I felt that good again....
Weird analogy IMO, even considering.

What a slacker. I had five dates to my senior prom.

When does stuff like this ever happen outside of John Hughes-stye movies?

I wonder if his date was Morgan Fairchild?

Never.

Translation:
I was so nervous that night of the prom that the special delivery of my blow up doll would show up before my mom left to work. But, two hours after she left, my doll arrived. I blew her up quickly and had the best night of my life.

Whom he has seen naked.

ZERO bongs.

Many years ago, when I was in high school. The guys had what we called "The Pig Pot".
Guys would throw a dollar in for whom ever won, would take home the money.
Not going into detail, however, PCintern got his hand shoke for winning the pot.
Yes, Ladies, I'm going to my room now. :-)
