How on earth is it possible?

It is not. Not by earthly laws of physics. We had a visit from the Aliens.

Formal Dinner hosted in honor of the Aliens.

Beef stew. Oven Rolls with honey butter. Finger fruit.

Four diners.  1 adult(DA), 3 Aliens(Da). 

As the professor scrawled it on the whiteboard – – – –

Given TΔ = 360 Min +/-. Anyone?

* Discounting liquiform substances. Aliens are assigned individual vessels, inscribed with their identities, and a proctor is on duty while the Aliens visit thus barring their cabinet access.  Yes, we’ve been through six-hour visits resulting in every drinking vessel from every cabinet landing on the scullery skid. We now consider **accelerated dinnerware aggregation a new physio-galactic conundrum.

  1. Do aliens know the difference between fine dinnerware and paper products? Perhaps taking the aliens on an exploratory picnic in the park would solve the scullery skid build-up and the conundrum. Besides, inscribing names on paper dinnerware products is much easier.

    1. Har! Har! Har! Unless you’ve loads of wee laddies and lassies experience as Uncle JP, you don’t understand that “names” on cups and plates mean ab-so-lute-ly nothing to Aliens. Someone has poorly lead them to believe each course must have a new piece of dinnerware, a new fork or spoon, and each trip to the milk jug, or water spigot requires virgin drinkware. Paper? So instead of three dishes, I have three paper plates? The forestry commission will be displeased. [Smirk] These same Aliens retrieve individual servings from serving dishes with fingers, ignoring the spoon, ladle, or fork placed in each dish to facilitate retrieval.

      I am trying to train. I am late to the parade, coming in after the crumb snatchers were walking an talking so have much embossed learning to overcome. They do as they do at home, which is curious in itself, but not what I will allow here.

      “Names on paper dinnerware products” he said! Ha!

      2. Outnumbered 3 1/2 to 1. It’s a challenge. No, no violent tendencies. Then, were I to mount a disgruntled campaign, they’d squash it by coming up to me and giving me a hug. Devious little imps.
