Pleased To Meet Your Acquaintance

Hello my name is Marilda McQueen. You were not invited. Please return to your ship. Politeness rules in this land of fools. Howdy do Marilda. I am Tom Twiddlepacker. I am taking over Earth and your dog. Good manners are ever so important. Pardon me Tom. I am Marilda’s mother. This is a lazar gun. Put Fluffy down immediately. Etiquette being what it is, Pleased to meet you Ma’am. I am Tom’s wife Tilly. I am taking your teeth now too. The ones I am wearing or the ones in the velvet case? Both. Hello my friends. I am G13YM2 your captor greeter. Please get in line and be quick. That is the way Earthlings talk, right? G12YM2, my name is Marta. Where are you taking us? That is not your business my friend, and you are welcome to meet your acquaintance. Hello my name is Ted Twiddlepacker. I am the one who contacted you. Please let me know that you have my pepperoni pizza. Glad to meet you Ted. Get in that line if you want something tasty. Polite, mannerly, showing etiquette, they tricked us into a smooth abduction. Yes, we are that easy.
