You'd be OK. We haven't killed any guest yet. We don't even have any
firearms with which to do it quickly.
Besides, there would be 3 toilets in the house that you could get to
without walikng through my bedroom, so you wouldn't wake me anyway. ;)
(Also, chances are, you'd be in the downstairs bedroom, *far* away from
any threat of my ninja sword....)
And you can ask Kimm about the likelihood of that sort of thing
happening -- she's been a houseguest a few times, and Marvin has, as
well, at least once before the night he dog-sat here, and both of them
were fine except for maybe dog-induced problems.
