I would have said "Everyone follow me" and left the building.

My worst course interruption happened when a duck fight broke out, just 
outside the course room. We just had to stop everything and watch the 
ducks fight it out.

I was invited to lecture today at a conference in the army.

The lecture went great, we were having a lot of fun and I made sure both 
the subject and the way I presented it were interesting.

The tension was peaking, people were sitting on the edge of their seats 
when suddenly.. BOOM!

The door banged open:
"Drill! Drill! Drill! Fire in the building! Everybody OUT!"
And there was silence.

We all literally went: "?!"

People were deeply engaged with the subject, we connected, and they were 
almost hypnotized. This sudden interruption was like an exit() function, 
breaking out and killing the program unceremoniously. Hypnotists would 
call this a break pattern.

This is what I wanted to share with the list, but if you are interested 
in the state-machine of what I think I could have done to "disable" the 
guy to a distant planet, take a look at my personal blog where I spend 
way too many words on this:

What would you have done?
