When you are tired of going to those family dinners and want to never be invited again just remember the quote used by Michael Valentine Smith...
"Who is this?"

You don’t need to go through all sorts of machinations! Just say you aren’t coming.
Obviously you didn't get the joke...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz nope, I guess not!
@Killtheskyfairy Check the book at the other end of the link.... "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein... The main character is Michael Valentine Smith the man from Mars... In the book Martians use a system of voluntary cannibalism... They consider it polite to know who they are eating...
Thank you infinitum! ....Note to any one expecting anything from me in the next however long it takes me to read this at least twice can just take a tip from the Martians. Grok?
At least one person here reads...
I love our family dinners, first Sunday of each month for over 50 years
Ok so you are saying you didn't get it either...
