Why did the man bring a compass on his date?

He wanted to take their relationship in a new direction.

I told my girlfriend I was thinking of taking up a new instrument.

She said, 'Why? You already have one, and you barely know how to play it yet.'

My wife always tells me I need to work on my presentation skills.

She says I rush through the intro and don't spend enough time on the visuals.

I was trying to set up my new home entertainment system last night.

My friend, who's an electrician, said I just needed to make sure all my connections were really tight.
