What about super-human ability to come up with plausible and believable reasons why you really wanted to be at the cocktail party but had to cancel at the last minute? That's tech I'd invest in.

  Output: My apologies. To best enjoy your cocktail party, I must not attend it.

Charming even the girl's parents when they suddenly come back early, becoming friends with the dad and sharing recipes with the mom. That's Charisma 20, right there.

EDIT: Sorry, cocktail party. My response still stands, though it's a rather messed-up situation to begin with there.
