A young girl brings her new boyfriend home to meet her parents. They’re appalled by his haircut, his tattoos, his piercings, his general scruffiness.

The girl's mum says quietly to her daughter, “Darling, he doesn’t seem to be a very nice boy.”

“Oh, for goodness sake, mum," says the daughter, "If he wasn’t nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”
