We've all experienced it: the bad joke at the elegant dinner party, the pointed question at the job interview, the desperate explaining to the highway patrolman. Situations that get tense, hair-trigger. A careless remark, the wrong word, some wounded pride-- who knows what may happen? Pity poor Amanda, who intends only to be on vacation. A simple matter becomes suddenly complex. How can things go so horribly, horribly wrong?
