HAHA, that same basic principle got me into trouble on another forum.
Someone said about working in a prison and someone could be taken prisoner, and that would be TSHTF. I laughed at that comment and said "No, that's a part of the job. Same as a fireman dealing with a fire isn't a SHTF situation. Those things are called life, and it's common sense that gets you through them." It was downhill from there haha.
