Dial-a-Distraction

Often, getting called on your cell-phone or beeper while on a date is rather annoying. However, on rare occasions, it gives you a chance to escape a bad situation that is getting worse. This service will increase in incidence of such events. Basicly, it works like this: The day before you go on a blind date, you pay the company some money and tell them your cell-phone/beeper's number. The next day, you go out and the company sends an agent with binoculars and a cell phone of his/her own. If things go sour, he calls you and gives you a very serious sounding, yet ficticious call that requires your prescence elsewhere. If that fails the "agent" (dressed in suit and dark sunglasses) comes in and arrests you. Naturally, as soon as you get out of sight he lets you go. Either way, you have a guilt-free means of ending the suffering.
