    Realism 101:
    Martian space ship lands in front of a closed Sinclair station in the desert... Captain order an underling to go and get directions.
    Underling double times up to the Regular pump, salutes, and says: "Take me to your leader. Nothing...
    He turns, and salutes the Ethyl pump and says: "Take me to your leader". Nothing..
    Puzzled, he steps over to the Diesel pump, salutes, and says: "Take me to your leader". Nothing.
    At his wits end, he returns to the space ship to report. Captain asks What did you learn"?
    Underling replies: "They don't talk much; but man, are they hung".

    Until the prospective mother-in-laws-to-be start slugging each other with empty champagne bottles in the kitchen the situation isn't all that bad.

    You are talking about the "Getting to Know You" turning into the "I've Heard about You People"?

    Yeah, when the ladies get all involved with the wedding crap. Just stay out of the way and be careful what you say if asked for an opinion.

    No, I'm talking about two people who probably don't get along very well to begin with. They're civil to each other because that's the way they keep from killing each other.
    If there's a huge disparity in social status that just makes it worse.
    If there's a race issue and a difference in social status and a high pressure situation like a wedding it can turn into a real brawl.

    No #### — we’re working on one of the most deadliest rivers in the lower 48 and wormholes??? Come to think of it, I might have got swallowed by one today but it spit me out— can one not be good enough for a wormhole?
