Head-to-Head: Who's Better at Getting Their Way

Pick two people at the table to compete over who's better at "working the system" — snagging the last piece of meat, cutting to the front of a line, scoring the best spot at a concert. Each brings one real story as proof. The table votes on the winner; the loser handles line duty next time.

• Ask the winner: is this a natural talent, or did someone force them to develop it?
