Thelma Needlemeyer was never known for having a great sense of humor.
Nelson Needlemeyer, on the other hand, has a terrific sense of fun and great comedic wit. He is also an inveterate practical joker.
.
Back in high school, when he was taking Thelma to the Senior Prom he showed up at her house in a hired limousine, bearing a beautiful corsage, and resplendent his rented tuxedo.
.
After making him wait the obligatory 20 minutes, thus forcing him to make small talk with her father, Thelma made her grand entrance, sweeping down the staircase like Loretta Young.
.
She took one gander at Nelson and screamed " You’re not going to the prom like that, are you ?"
.
" What ? " he deadpanned.
.
“Those …those…Those SNEAKERS ! " she screamed.
Nelson was wearing bright red Keds !
He had his good dress shoes in the limo but this moment was too good to pass up.
.
Her father was laughing to the point of tears.
Thelma’s mother , from whom she’d inherited her inability to take a joke, wasn’t amused.
Thelma did a 180 and fled wailing up the stairs with mother right behind her.
.
Eventually, things calmed down and they went to the prom, and Nelson made sure it was a night to remember.
