A newly raised MM was dating the girl of whom he had always dreamed and after one particularly great date, she invited him in as her parents wouldn't be home for several hours.

Well, after a time hugging and kissing on the sofa, the new MM reached across his girlfriend to shut off the light when she said, "Oh, my Dad has a ring just like yours!"

He immediately asked if he could use the phone and quickly explained the situation to the Master of his Lodge who as quickly advised him to " ... take off one shoe and go to work as a FC."
