This is a pearoast from a QOTW a while back called 'Tactless'
(To say my foot was firmly lodged in my mouth would be an understatement)
I was in the passnger seat driving with a friend along Baker Street. It was a very hot day and everyone had their windows open. Stuck in traffic, as one tends to be along that street, the lanes on either side would occasionally move a bit quicker.
To the left of our car you could hear horses feet, I turned to see a horse drawn carriage pull up and I made eye contact with quite a stunning bride. She was very beautiful, all fairy tale dress and flowers.
So, of course I just had to say “congratulations, you look very beautiful”. She demurely smiled and thanked me, and so the bloke at her side (in my defence at LEAST 30 years her senior, although my conscience may be exagerating here) turned to see who she was speaking to “Congratulations, sir, you must be very proud, your daughter looks stunning”
“I'm not the Father, I’m the Husband”
God, I really wonder if I just totally ruined their day...neither looked even remotely amused..I was so shocked, my friend had to close the window remotely as I was just frozen with embaressment

Nah - I bet he was well proud of himself.
She was probably not bright enough to spell "money-grubbing slovenly harlot", let alone understand what one was.

Can't see the problem.
Women like to be told that they look younger than they actually are, and men getting on in years like the idea of a younger partner. Plus he'll be able to fantasise that he's fucking his daughter.

At which point you recover with
"Well, in that case you should be proud and smug!"

At which point the father pipes up with some comment from the back of the carriage,
and you look over and realise that he's younger than the husband.

I don't like gays getting married.
There are enough gay kids as it is.
