BTW, compliance has bounds as Pax once listed. For example, going with them, on your knees with the back of your head to them - may not be the way to go.

If your wife gets mad at you because you didn't kick butt but you are both unhurt (if robbed of cash), then next time - let her duke it out and you scamper off for help.
