The Star Trek Bladder Problem

I have a problem. My bladder is the size of a peanut. I forgot that when I went to go see Star Trek, and chugged a small fountain drink, which if you have noticed lately aren't really small at all. The new “ smalls ” at a movie theater, I swear are at least 109 oz. So there I sat nursing my “ small ” fountain drink, when all of a sudden as Kirk, Spock, and I left federation space, I felt a felt a little pressure on my bladder. But I thought, " I will be fine, this movie can’t be longer than 30 minutes. " An hour later, I was feeling so very uncomfortable, but I thought it is my duty as a member of Starfleet Command to stay with my crew and support them in their fight with the Klingons.

The Anonymous Text

Do you ever get a text message that says, “Hey, we are having a party and we want you to come over.” They are not one of your contacts, and they didn't attach their name to the text.   So who in the world is this person?

I fear by asking them who they are might hurt their feelings and may cause a retraction of an invite to their super fun party. So instead of doing something, I do nothing. Problem solved?
