Listens: The Smiths - "Panic"

A Delicate Inquiry

I have a sort of a strange problem. thickwood, littlesistah, this question relates to matters of absolutely no concern to you, so, no need to read on. Now, my other dear friends, please commence...

You see, I heard from a friend back in Manchester the other day. And this friend had an odd experience. Seems the poor chap suffered a knock to the brainpan and was in a bit of a fog for a day or two. And when he woke up, it was the strangest thing. He was in bed with his boyfriend and his boyfriend's sister.

How very odd!, you might say, and rightly so. Quite peculiar and not a little embarrassing!, oh yes, right you are. A terribly awkward situation. For my friend, of course.

Now, his boyfriend is extremely extremely lovely and wonderful and unbelievably, amazingly hot, and the bloke in question is no slouch himself, and both are young and adventurous yet faithfully secure in their feelings for one another... so they've long had a sort of an open relationship. Still, there are some things which are a bit beyond the pale, and I fear that sister-sleeping-with is likely to be one of those things.

Granted, my friend does not recall accomplishing anything untoward with regards to the young miss, but the boyfriend has been behaving in a classically jealous fashion: he broods and pouts constantly, yet clings to the bloke as though trying to prevent further straying. Meanwhile, the comely sis seems to be eyeing the bloke with a certain interest which he had not detected in her mien before.

Naturally my friend is very distraught about causing his boyfriend any such woe over an indiscretion, particularly one that he doesn't even remember committing in the first place. Not to mention, either doing wrong by the sister of his boyfriend, or leading her on: it's disgraceful behaviour either way. Now, should he proffer the excuse that he was under the influence of a blow to the noggin at that time? Should he be a man and accept the consequences of his actions, whatever they might have been? Should he follow the siblings' lead, and simply refrain from addressing the topic at all?

What do you think? What advice might I relay back to my friend? Answers on a postcard, please, care of the Adagio Hotel; or you may reply here, and thank you.
