A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his father for advice.
The father replies: «My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy.»
The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy’s nervousness builds.
He remembers his father’s advice, and chooses the first topic.
He asks the girl: «Do you like spinach?» She says «No,» and the silence returns.
After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his father’s suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, «Do you have a brother?» Again, the girl says «No» and there is silence once again.
The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father’s advice and asks the girl the following question: «If you had a brother, would he like spinach?»
Who were the first travellers.
