I'm no Corey Booker when it comes to martyrdom, but I think if I saw a choking in progress, I'd intervene. I think you're less likely to get hurt yourself (by a flailing fist, like Ken thought he'd get when he helped Richard get free of John Courage). If someone is choking someone else and you pull them away, I think you're safer than when there's a regular fight and you try to get in the middle of it.

I'm sure you're right that choking happens every day and is happening somewhere now, but aside from Homer and Bart, I'd say it usually doesn't happen with witnesses. I think it's a less public form of attack.

On another note, I was laughing about Christine saying YMLF was about her dog as a cover story. I don't know how that would be believable, after a point. I mean, it's not unusual to call a dog "sweet wonderful you" but beyond that . . . you get into bestiality.

Also, Dee, did you add this to the Los Gatos package: Ken saying that Stevie and Lindsey lived together for 7 years alone and then for a few more years with Richard.
