Are you sure about that? I always heard it's best to get out your cell phone and quote a certain line from one of my favorite movies. "Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house."

Follow that with, "They want my dog!"

At this point you may want to have an actual alien with you trying to ease an explosive situation. "There's no need to alert the authorities. Everything's under control."

And finally you top it all with, "Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw."
