You're only on #1873? Most of us got past that one years ago.

Ahhh. That's what that was all about then. I'd missed the involvement of the paper aeroplane.

You can recover if you immediately say:

"A big boy did it and ran away!"

or

"Everyone stay still until the aftershock!"

Do you offer some sort of hotline I can call to get the correct way to deal with these sorts of situations?

If there's enough interest, I can set up a subscription-based service. The first 3 excuses would be free.

Interesting. Do the two above count against my free allowance?
