The Blind Date

You do your friend a favor by taking his cousin, whom you never met, on a blind date. You worry that she may be a real "dog", but then you meet her. A real beauty! Halfway through the night, just when you feel on top of the world, you come to a terrible realization - "I am the blind date!"
