I swear some version of that guy is at every wedding. He probably thought you were his buddy, the horny single guy wanting to scope out all the chicks and didn’t think about the fact that you were related to them. Or that you didn’t want to scope them at all. This version is a little different since it’s a young guy creepily hitting on the older women. At most weddings I have been to, it’s a creepy older guy, usually someone’s uncle, hitting on the young women. At least he mixes it up a little. ---

Screw Grice’s cooperative principle… have you seen his Mom? Tits out to here, I’m tellin’ ya. You handled things in a prudent, reasonable manner, **Ex** , despite a completely understandable and defensable inclination to act otherwise. Good man. ---

You guy’s crack me up. Well done–the 10 to the 23rd power looks familiar. (what the hell did that number refer to, any way- The number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin?)
