wicked - makes notes for future reference if needed
 
Best one though, is always to carry a couple of dice in a case (a la Diceman), whenever asked a question, roll the dice, not allowing them to see the numbers, and randomly choose a response: start crying, laugh, contradict your previous statement, say your studying theology...
this is a very good way to avoid a prison sentence, they'll assume your mad.
 
59. Adopt confident yet relaxed position. Assume role of psychoanalyst and thus ask questions like "So what do you think you really mean by that question ?", "Are you projecting your own insecurities onto me ?", "Are you perhaps confusing reality with your own inner world ?" - when they're really wound up finish with "I think you've revealed some real issues about your mother". From then on just nod in a sad, yet patronising way and say "mmm...", "uh-huh" and "tell me more" until they leave you alone...
 
60. Clutch your knees, rock back and forth a la Arthur Fowler when he lost it inside, mutter quietly to yourself, keep your eyes WIDE open and maybe dribble a little every now and then.
