It's been a long time since I've inserted myself into a potentially violent situation (other than hunting turkeys) But, still, I remove my coat and tie as I say:
"Well, I believe you are right, Doctor. We are doing little good here. If we go after them and can do nothing besides offer them a ride back to the club after their run, it is brobably still worth it. If they require assistance of a more immediate nature and we can brovide it, a-hamdullah.
"Still, sbeaking solely for myself, I know that I am not the same [OOC: said with intentional irony] imbosing warrior that I was in my youth[/]. If the others are in trouble, broviding them with a sbeedy exit may be as vital as broviding them our numbers.
"I brobose that, unless the club is willing to lend us the use of an automobile, or unless one of you has brought one to the meeting today, that that we hire two taxis - one for us and one to be empty and waiting should our comrades need to make a hasty exit. And as I said , If we go after them and can do nothing besides offer them a ride back to the club, all that means is that everything went well, and that in addition we will be able to continue the meeting more immediately, en-sha'ullah ."
