Ha! I loved the Terry-Thomas style narration here as the sneering tones advocate a plan for people to join the "Independent League of Loners" ("ILL") and escape the whole range of faux-friendly types who exude camaraderie from every pore. How do you deter such folk? Perhaps a penetrating stare? How to avoid that person who shakes your hand like his is a steel claw? Antidotes? Well for that you have to buy an handbook which will give you a recipe for your very own stink bomb - mind you, you'll need a strong stomach of your own for that one too! Maybe try a little cannibalism, rubber masks or just plain running way? There's no end of joy here for those of us of a more curmudgeonly nature who just want to be left in peace instead of pieces.
