MIKE: Hey Honey, this is my bridge brother Alex.
HONEY: Your "bridge brother"? What, do you play bridge together?
MIKE: No. You remember my half brother, Steve?
HONEY: Yes.
MIKE: Well, Alex is Steve's half brother on his Mom's side of the family. So Alex and I are not "blood" brothers, so to speak, we're just related by the marriage and divorce and remarriage of our parents.
