Trash Landing: Difference between revisions

== Literature ==

* Spider Robinson's ''[[Callahan's Crosstime Saloon|Callahan's Lady]]'' includes a short story with a villainess with some [[Applied Phlebotinum]] that forces the characters to do anything she asks them to. One of the orders she gives to the protagonist and another character is "don't go downstairs". They use [[Exact Words]] to turn that into "Do not descend a staircase" and the protagonist jumps into a dumpster from an upstairs window.
