(sound of doorbell)
LADY OF THE HOUSE: Good evening!
BURGLAR / THUG / CRETIN: Evening ma'am. Please be advised that it is the express intention of myself and my associates to burglarize your home. Fair warning is hereby given, and we shall commence our activities in two minutes' time. We trust that all persons will remove themselves from the dwelling immediately.
LADY OF THE HOUSE: Why yes of course! We appreciate your gracious warning and will leave at once. Nice hat! It matches your boots quite well!
