Thanks Garrett for the laugh!!! And! Here's my question to that puritanical style guide: how else do you show tone, surprise, enthusiasm, emphasis, snark, etc.!!??!!
In defense of the publication in question, The Official White Pages style guide requires every fourth character to be an explanation point, so it's not exactly hard to go under.
1. One wonders: if her golf attire had not been classy, would Ron have passed her by?
2. The whole description of him leading her to a place for a drink despite knowing nothing about the area reminds me of anecdotes about Ron in college, where he would deliberately make mistakes just to see if his date would correct him. If so? Not the gal for Ron!
How much more genuine and human it is to say, "Hey, I'm new here. Do you have a place you like to go for a drink?" But no: Ron can't be out here admitting he doesn't know something, so instead he ends up taking this lovely woman he's desperate to get to know better to: Beef O'Brady's. Which is exactly as depressing as it sounds. She must have really liked him too.
Really good point. From this point on, I'm going to make sure that my golf attire is just, the classiest, lest I miss the opportunity for the greatest prize of all (a lifetime with Ron DeSantis!).
Re: Beef O'Brady's. Somewhere out there, there is a very self serious, MBA-holding striver who, when people ask what they do for a living, has to respond "I'm, uh, the CFO of [looks at shoes] Beef O'Brady's!" I have no opinion about it as a restaurant! It's just impossible to say its name with a straight face!
I still can’t believe you read that book @Garrett Bucks…
Mistakes were made!

Well, I guess that song is better than if he'd stolen one of Bruce's.

Two things about that meet cute(?):
