Today, my fiancé paid a visit to my parents so he could ask my dad's permission to marry me. My dad responded with, "Why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?" FML

Should've asked your mum ," why did you buy the pig if you could get the sausage for free?" Congratulations on the engagement though ^~^

#7, it was a barnyard reference. The dad was horsing around by being a pig. Hopefully, the OP ducked the question and won't chicken out on the proposal -- that'd be bull! See how that works? Now, you give it a try. . .

It appears your father knows you better than you thought

Wait. Your fiancé asked your parents' permission to marry you AFTER you two got engaged? Does it usually happen that way? What if your parents said, "No"? Would you two elope at that point? So many questions are left unanswered!

I could see my dad doing this. He is very traditional and if he thought that I was just giving myself away he would be upset.

Tell your mother what he said so she can slap his shit.

These jokes make me want to cry... moo-hoo!!
