Bagley collected embarrassing date stories, suggesting that they are told for three reasons: entertainment, letting us know we're not alone, and to serve as a pressure release valve. Included are stories of a returned missionary accidentally asking a fifteen year old on a date, a girl stuffing her dress with tissue paper to make herself more busty and having it fall out, and a man getting a girl's sweater stuck in his fly as he zipped up his pants in a movie theater. The project was written for Dr. Eliason's English 392 class taught at Brigham Young University in 1998.
