I've been told that people ignore "RAPE" as they don't want to get
involved or assume it's some drunk tart having a tiff with her
boyfriend. "FIRE" on the other hand usually provokes interest.


There was a song, about 40 years ago, about a man who fell into a vat of
chocolate, and was in danger of drowning. He yelled "FIRE!". When
asked about it after his rescue, he said more people would pay
attention, than if he yelled 'chocolate'........
