I would recommend not emulating the books when attempting to avoid drama here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-28368261971436614432009-11-20T14:44:57.194+00:002009-11-20T14:44:57.194+00:00No, but if the situation comes up where she'd ...No, but if the situation comes up where she'd need to use the line then any hope of a drama-free gathering is pretty much shot anyway.Ibidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614529174562538070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-8199861944499588002009-11-20T14:39:06.031+00:002009-11-20T14:39:06.031+00:00Ibid - I'm a fan of number 1, but it wouldn...Ibid - I'm a fan of number 1, but it wouldn't accomplish Billie's goal of getting through the dinner with a minimum of drama. The only way it would work is if it was a group that hated Jessica and would laugh at the joke - and it's doubtful her immediate family hates her.<br /><br />Brando - Great. Perfect comeback invented.

Something like "Yes, that's what she told me, too. I need a more credible witness if I'm going to believe it. Kind of like how I don't rely on Phillip-Morris for advice about respiratory health."<br /><br />Tactic option #2) Run with it. "Oh yeah, so did I. I can see why they broke up. She's lousy in the sack. I'd heard about 'dead fish' in the past, but never really understood what they meant until now. Speaking of threesomes, what are you doing this weekend?" <br /><br />Tactic option #3) Defame the ex's character. "Well, that's how she remembers it. I remember it more like 'she shows up at 3 in the morning sobbing and drunk at the front door. She throws herself at him, pukes in the bathtub, and passes out. She woke up in his bed, where she slept it off, and came up with that story.'"Ibidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614529174562538070noreply@blogger.com
