BYU freshman year. Pre-mission. I get asked to an on-campus dinner and dance.
Nice enough girl...though, I wasn't really into her...I'm sure we were in the same family home evening group or something.

Dinner beforehand at the Sky Room or whatever they used to call it (at the top of the Wilk). She told me we would go with some of her roommates and their dates. Ok. Fair enough.

On campus and no car, so I assume we're walking to dinner and the dance...right? Shortly after I arrive to pick her up, three scrawny guys with thinning hair show up in a cardboard "limousine." You know, like a Flintstone car where you 'drive' with your legs...but, cardboard...and you're actually walking....anyway, wouldn't you know, there's room in the back for me and my date! I thought they were kidding and that everyone was going to get a nice little laugh out of the situation. Very clever, chaps! But, no! Everyone was WAY into it, including my date....

So, we throw these straps over our shoulders, with the cardboard limousine cutouts on either side and walk/shuffle across campus (the long way, to make sure they got their money's worth?) to dinner and then the dance. I was significantly taller than everyone else, so they kept complaining that the "limousine" was tilting too far forward...so I move to the middle. Well, at least I got to walk closer than expected to this nice enough girl, right? Except, she thought we were getting to close and switched places with one of the scrawny RMs. Ugh!

En route, bumped into some friends from the football team and then some hot girls that I was actually interested in...having to explain to them that I was forced into the silly predicament, was being held against my will, and told them to call for help!

Now, imagine what a dance would be like for a freshman with three gawky RMs looking for true love and their nice, homely dates that created a cardboard cutout limousine to "drive" around campus for the date. Aye, that's how things went. I somehow made it through the dance. In the end, I asked the three chauffeurs if they could escort my date home without me...which they did, and I will never regret that decision.

I went back to the dorms and found a hot girl that I was interested in and hung out with her until the wee hours of the night. I don't think I ever talked to my date from that night, her roommates, or their creative RM dates ever again. Sorry if any of you scrawny guys are on CB!
