This should make sailing with my family a LOT easier, for example: ...

I was watching a "Silence of the Lambs" sequel last night. Ya' know, a
movie's story line has to be plausible to be entertaining. This one was
doing great til near the end the hero's wife gets caught between him and
the villain - both armed with pistols. The wife doesn't know the bad
guy's behind her. Man suspense to the max! But then our hero yells
"drop" and she immediately hits the floor allowing him to engage the bad
guy and any credibility the plot ever had went out the window. Can you
imagine any woman responding like that? No! It'd be "Why should I do
that - asshole?" or "why are you playing with a gun in the house?" or
*anything* BUT what she'd been told to do! It's like trying to herd
cats. My wife even got mad when I pointed this out.
