Would you mind grabbing a case of Bud Light and a brick of cheese? Our crabby old tidbits are coming over, and the happier we keep them, the less problematic they’ll be. And please don’t bring up politics, gender norms or any ethnic foods at dinner. Otherwise, these outdated tidbits are sure to bring up things that they don’t find acceptable.

Oh, and while you’re out, can you grab some gluten-free seitan for us?

Thanks.

The running gag the about Sheldon's discomfort with BiG BANG physical intimacy THEORY was in terrible taste. The whole joke was Look, it's a man who is asexual.
