    I was at an important conference about two years ago, and one of the leaders was lecturing. He started to say that last one, and then paused mid-sentence. When he spoke again, he amended, "Let us be careful what I say. I don't want to be outside the box. We want to get back in the box!" The room erupted in cheers.

    By "retreat to a happy place" do you mean "feel rage so intense that you black out and come to with someone's blood all over you"?

    I don't really know. All were favorites of my former boss, but she died a couple of years ago. Maybe they died with her.
