Question 1 of 10

The lunch rush at the Rough-House Cafe turns brittle when Popeye and Brutus square up beside the counter. Plates rattle, Swee'pea is too close to the legs of the crowd, and everyone waits for the first move. What do you do?

Step between Popeye and Brutus, point them toward the door, and accept that both may glare at you.
Slide the breakables out of reach and guide Swee'pea behind the safest table before speaking.
Let the bearded nemesis posture while you memorize who flinches and where the exits are.
Offer everyone a stool, turn the quarrel toward the bill, and keep the counter moving.
