Another Reason To Love Thy Enemy

"A common enemy brings opposing sides together faster than any other type of group cohesion technique." - David Lieberman

So why have marriage counselors not caught on to this? "Sorry guys, I was so sure hug therapy was going to do the trick for you. You know what the real problem is? Little Jimmy. Think about it, the crying, the spilled milk, the skinned knees. Who invited him anyway? It's time to bring him down. You can DO this!"

Or peace talks:

Flarfanian leader: "We may return your hostages, but we shall NEVER cede the river bank!"

United Fiefdom leader: "The hostages would rather perish than live without the river bank!"

(tense staring, then eye darting, followed by uncomfortable shuffling of feet)

Flarfanian: "Those Krankizites sure have lots of river bank and plunderable villages, don't they?"

United Fiefdom: "Our armies will crush them into the dust of history!"
