- This line of approach to a burglar had never occurred to me. Courtesy
- in all things.

- Of course, far and away the most likely outcome is (1). In the event of
- (2) looking likely to occur, you must somehow stall the burglar while
- you fetch your gun. After all, you weren't expecting this to happen;
- you thought you were going to spend the evening ironing your
- girlfriend's skimpy underwear and checking with her that it hadn't
- shrunk too much. The gun is in the drawer with the potatoes and the
- baking trays.... Oh! Red faces department, it isn't and you need it
- urgently... Just a moment, didn't you use it two days ago for stirring
- a tin of paint? Maybe it's under the sink with the paint roller.
