Just what I needed

A fire alarm and subsequent evacuation of the hotel at half past two
in the morning.
Thankfully, we weren't out for long: I think I was back in bed a
couple of minutes after three.
As I walked determinedly to the fire exit, a lady wandering along the
corridor asked me "should we go?" and without stopping I replied "of
course!"
There were no casualties. And this time, not even nutters who had
stopped to pack and were dragging large and heavy suitcases down the
stairs with them. What could you possibly have with you worth enough
to risk that?
