What is the correct way to ask a father for the key to his daughter's chastity belt?

I would suggest telephone....e-mail is just a tad impersonal.

You could always go to the locksmith if Dad refuses to cough up the key.

Where the @#$% are you living? Chastity belt? That's so illegal, it's funny. So, to prove you're not making this up, I'd better see a news story about some crazed mentally retarded dad being arrested for using a chastity belt on his daughter. Or just learn how to pick it!

Two weeks ago, and daddy still hasn't released the key? Okay, there's a trouble brewin'! If father doesn't realize he's still wearing the key around his neck and hasn't turned it over to it's rightful owner, then father must believe that he himself, is still the rightful owner of that treasure, which could indicate that he's been dipping into it every now and then and doesn't want to share it yet. Otherwise, he could be senile, and wouldn't understand that he has to give the key up once you purchase his daughter. Either way, I fault YOU for not getting the key before you drug her off kicking and screaming to your house. You're responsible for your own ability to get into or out of that treasure box, and if the father didn't want to give up the keys you should have spent the extra money taking lessons from a locksmith. Just, don't leave the father alone with your wife any time soon. If your wife ends up pregnant, don't believe anything she says about not knowing how it happened or it being a gift from God. Just toss her out on her rump and demand your dowry back from her father.

Very very carefully, and preferably from a distance.

Dang it, someone else got to the Men In Tights reference first!

I would say your marriage supercedes the chastity belt. As a married adult, if your wife chooses to have sex with you that's her choice not her fathers. Here's hoping you break the lock soon! =)

Is this a joke or something? Please do not post this kind of question casually, it is an insult to those genuinely locked in a chastity belt.

Remember Robin Hood, Men in Tights? CALL FOR THE LOCKSMITH!

I like the sword fight to the death idea.. he's probably old anyway, so you'll win.

Naked, and you must speak your request in first century Aramaic. Good luck.

you might wanna consider wearing a bulletproof vest when asking that to his face ...
