I have been following the news about this tragedy happened in Manila upon the Hong Kong tourist. Manila bus siege | World news | guardian.co.uk
And it makes me wonder what if an NLPer was in that bus, would he/she

1. Go inside and scare the shit out of himself;
   
   
2. Smile and realize right away that this an an unprecedented opportunity to practice handshake interrupt and take away his gun while telling him to "Close your eyes, just sit back and relax" and turn to other frightening tourists, "because I do not know when is the last time you had a nightmare and wake up remembering nothing....is important now just go into sleep and just realize how susceptible to suggestion one is during emergency situation because, when you wake up, you could have make NLP a head line in every major newspaper the next day."
   
   
3. hesitate whether to do 1 or 2.

1, is the safer and more responsible real life alternative. However, two makes for a good Bandler story.

Now, in life there are always, and yes I said always more options than just two. Most of them are much better then the ones you outlined.

Oh yes Alex, this post is meant to be a joke, after hearing too much of Bandler's story. However, I am really interested in the better alternative in your mind so I really hope that you are going to share it, aren't you?
