Being in a room with an elephant totally sucks. I had a bad experience 
when the elephant in the room went nuts at a circus. I found out that in 
times like that, my spidey sense kicks in and I won't bother hanging 
around to see "what develops" or if the situation improves. Heading out 
the door at the first sign of trouble is one of my best traits.
