1955 era joke It's the summer of 1955 and Bobby goes to pick up his date, Peggy Sue. Bobby's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo. When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sues' father answers and invites him in. "Peggy Sue's not ready yet, so why don't you come in and have a seat?" He says. "That's cool." says Bobby. What are you kids planning to do, asked the father? Bobby replies politely that they will probably just go to the malt shop or to a drive-in-movie. Peggy Sues' father responds, "Why don`t you kids go out and screw? I hear all of the kids are doing it." Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Bobby and he says "Whaaaat?" "Yeah," says Peggy Sues' father, "We know that she likes to screw; why, she`d screw all night if we let her!" Bobbys' eyes light up and smiles from ear to ear. Immediately, he has revised the plans for the evening. A few minutes later, Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle kirt with her saddle shoes and announces that she's ready to go. Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby escorts his date out the front door while Dad is saying, "Have a good evening kids," with a small wink for Bobby. About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back into the house, slams the door and screams at her father: "DAMMIT DADDY! The TWIST!!! IT`S CALLED THE TWIST"!!!
