In this hilarious episode of When Aliens Come to Tea, host Felix Andromeda welcomes Ambassador Zorp Glorbax of Flarbgarrl Prime—Lead Investigator of Missing Common Sense for the Intergalactic Division. This lavender, pear-shaped alien has made it his life's work to investigate why common sense seems to take extended vacations across our galaxy, and Earth is his favorite case study.
• The Great Accidental Compliment Fiasco of Galactic Cycle 734 - how saying battle scars were "surprisingly symmetrical" nearly started an interstellar war
• Life on a planet with mandatory happiness sirens and 73 distinct ways to say "no"
• Why Glibglobs require 17-volume pre-cohabitation agreements and 45-second pre-biscuit gratitude rituals
• The touching story of Florm and their rebellious "no forms" date
• Zorp's mind-blowing first encounter with metaphors and sarcasm
• How the Backward-Walking Bureaucrats incident launched his career
• Cultural differences from Earth Classic to the Outer Colonies
Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and anyone who's ever wondered if aliens think we're the weird ones. Part diplomatic summit, part comedy of manners, and entirely unlikely to go according to anyone's standard operating procedure.
