Social dilemma
« on: 05 May 2008, 17:23:57 »
My wife and I have been invited to a Barn Dance.  Not, I hasten to add, by anyone who I would number among my friends.  

My wife wants to go - she thinks it will be "great fun", whereas my initial reaction was that I would rather shoot my foot off.  Perhaps that's a bit extreme.

But I have to say that the only things I can think of that I would less like to do than go to a Barn Dance are things that are not usually categorised as "for enjoyment", mostly involving the participation of a medical professional.

How do I get out of this?

The last time this happened, I was taken by complete surprise.  We went to my niece's wedding in a castle in Scotland.  After the meal, the room was cleared for "Scottish Country Dancing".  

I'm not kidding, I've seen gentler rugby internationals.  Fortunately, my older son was with us, and he very bravely danced with his mother.  My younger son, a lad wise beyond his years, adjourned with me to the bar.  Unfortunately, this being a Scottish wedding, there was no free bar.  A very expensive evening :'(

Worse still, the other niece is getting married (to a piper, no less) next month.  How long does it take to get a shotgun licence?
