Dear Gentlemen,I have a bachelor party coming up for my wife's brother. Plans have been made to go to a strip club and my father-in-law and some other in-laws will be there. Should I go? What is the protocol for behavior?
Best,

Dear Caught,
The protocol for dealing with your wife's family is to keep alive the myth that you could only imagine your life with one woman - the daughter and sister of these people that have chosen to make you go to a strip club.
You have to go, but stress that it was not your idea. Tell them you are not sure about it, that you are nervous, and that strippers give you the creeps. Do not buy a lap dance for yourself. Chip in and get one for the groom to be and/or your father-in-law, because it is vital that they are more embarrassed by the experience than you are.
Your only risk is looking too weak, so make sure you appear comfortable by making eye contact with the ladies. Don't shy away from a bit of witty banter as you turn down lap dances. And now and then politely put a dollar in a dancer's waist band. These are working girls after all, don't blame them for the fact that you got roped into going with your father-in-law.
Politely,
The Gentlemen
