Don't evacuate - Karen's idea makes for a great evening with friends:


	Make sure their door is locked (from the outside). Their windows
should be unlocked. Below, in your apartment, the lights are dim. Play
Beethoven's ninth. As they smash their heads against the floor, begging
you to stop, you gaze upwards from your wheelchair and cackle
maniacally, while Julian, your manservant, contemplates the Rembrandt
over the fireplace. Your closest friend (and fellow subversive) is there
too. Slowly and methodically, he rolls the red snooker balls across the
green felt, one at a time, waiting for each one to go into the pocket
before starting the next one on its way.
