Invite your partner on a date by sending her a plain brown envelope
containing a tape. On the tape, record the Mission Impossible sound track and
then record yourself saying, “Your mission if you choose to accept it is to
make your way to Café Venoli, 123 Park Lane at 18.30 Eastern Standard Time.
There you will rendezvous with a stunningly attractive man wearing a red
carnation. The future of the free world is now in your hands. This tape will
self destruct in five seconds.” Then record ten beeps from a stopwatch and
record yourself saying, “Would you believe ten seconds…” Its corny but it
usually gets a laugh!
