A teenager wants to borrow his parents car to pick up his date. His dad suggests he takes the family tandem bicycle instead.

"But dad" said the son, "I can't pick up my date on a tandem bike. It's dorky, and we'll never get to the movies in time."

The dad shook his head. "Trust me son when there's two people riding, you can burn through some serious rubber."
