I was unable to make it, so I sent a hologram programmed with my personality matrix instead. Any faux pas (what’s the plural of that anyway?) committed may be blamed on the faulty mobile emitter. ---

Any faux pas (what’s the plural of that anyway?) committed may be blamed on the faulty mobile emitter. You should have said something if your mobile emitter was not functioning properly! We could have routed a reverse tachyon pulse through the deflector dish to recrystallize your dilithium. ---

This bears further investigation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sf-bay-dopers-meetup-or-dopefest/297700.md?page=3)
