New Ideas for Where To Propose

We like to be very helpful at times, and we know that any single guy out there who has met that special someone and is ready to propose we want to help. Of course, I am talking about you guys that meet the following requirements:
1) You (the proposer) and the Her (the proposee) actually know each other.
This is more important than you may realize.
2) The Proposee actually has a romantic thing for you. This is also more
important than you may realize.
3) The Proposee is actually open to the idea of marriage. This is, once again,
more important than you may realize.
4) You have some means of getting a decent ring and anything else you might
need for the occassion. This is more important than.......you get the idea.
Once these requirements are met, you may proceed to proposing. You want to do something better than a jumbotron at a sports event or a moonlit gazebo setting. Here are ideas you may not have thought of.

The Barnes & Noble Proposal A used bookstore will not do. Sandwich the ring in the middle of a great book. Be careful with book content. A book on subjects like Monster Trucks, Outhouses, or Divorce will not be a good choice.

The Zamboni Proposal Arrange for a ride on top of the Zamboni at the local ice skating rink. Propose while cleaning the ice. One drawback is you will need to talk very loudly.

The Racing the Amish Proposal Pull up next to an Amish wagon at a stoplight and begin revving the image and when it turns green you blow the wagon off the road. She will be so impressed you can propose when you come to a stop. One drawback is you may spook the horses of the Amish wagon and cause him to have an accident and then get hit with a lawsuit.

The Glacier Proposal Hike up to a glacier and propose on top of it. Wear warm clothing. This is especially useful for a long engagement period, as you can say "we will get married as soon as this thing moves forty feet." The downside with this is you can fall through a crack on the glacier and get killed on the day you propose.

The Rattlesnake Roundup Proposal Find one in Texas (or some other Rattlesnake intensive area). Arrange to have the proposee get trapped inside a rattlesnake pit and then you can come and rescue her. She will be so grateful she will say yes. The downside to this one is that it requires both of you to avoid being bitten. It also requires both of you to be really stupid.

The Academic Lecture Proposal Find a boring academic giving a speech. The more boring the subject and the more boring the academic, the better. Propose during the speech starting off with the phrase "we can leave if.....". The downside is that the proposee may hate you intensively for bringing her here in the first place. She might actually prefer the Rattlesnake Roundup to this.

The Amazing Race Proposal Send the proposee around the world following various clues. Have her do stunts like feeding elephants in India or organizing sand in the Sahara along the way. Propose to her after she crosses the finish line. For extra efffect, hire Phil Koeggan to be standing there at the finish line with a grim look on his face and have him tell her that she came in first place and wins your engagement ring. The downside to this will be her memories of feeding elephants and organizing sand which will possibly make her less likely to accept.

The CSI Proposal You and your proposee tag along with..... Never mind.
