Simple advice for the Bad Guys

So again you're sat in a room, in fairness you're probably with your friends. The odds are this isn't a criminal mastermind you're working for, most likely it's a small town thing, or maybe something drug related, at the extreme end of things maybe even a drugs lord. Around you are people you've known for years, you're not well paid, and you enjoy the company and the card playing (you always seem to be playing cards). Recently there's been a bit of a problem with someone who's returned to the area, but it blew over he was beaten up it's not a problem now, but the boss has asked you all to spend a bit more time "in the office", actually around the office but hey what do you care, you're probably even allowed to have the occasional beer during this overtime...Does any of this sound familiar so far?

Suddenly a knock at the door, then another, then the door flies off it hinges, you look up dazed and shocked to see that no you were obviously mistaken as the doorway is still blocked. Then in it walks a mountain of muscle, biceps that to be honest look like tree trunks and not the small ones, we're talking oaks that Robin Hood would recognise here. Yes it turns out that your boss has pissed off one Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, fantastic. So it's decision time....

Do you take the risk and think it's just one man what can he do let’s all work together and beat him with whatever is at hand, that'll work?  NO let’s be honest this is The Rock, if it had been a gorilla you might have had a chance but not you try and hit him with a baseball bat and let's be honest it'll break and go home to its bat like children whimpering about the pain and misery of its day and how it wishes you were dead. A wish by the way which it probably didn't notice came true.

Option two, shoot him. Well if you're lucky you might be able to hit a vital organ but again remember the size of those arms, the odds are slim and to be frank, he'll probably still beat you to a pulp.

Option three, apologise for any wrong doing you've done and offer to hold his coat while he goes and find's your boss. This is the best option, for a change I wouldn't even suggest just running away, as by this point he's already seen you and that's you up a certain creek without a certain paddle unless you take this opportunity to make your amends!

So remember folks, if it's built like a building and named after something known for being unbreakable, apologise and offer to help, it's the only way to staff safe.
