theweaselkingCow-orker is telling me in hushed tones (relatively speaking - people across the room can still clearly hear what she's saying) about the apparent theft of several thousand dollars worth of equipment. I get lucky - before she can start in with the conspiracy theories and wild speculation, an escape route presents itself.
"Look," I say, pointing to the floor, "a skink."
"Oooh, a lizard!" She pounces on the hapless reptile and chases it about the floor obssessively for several minutes until finally pinning the poor creature down and taking it outside. By the time she gets back inside she's totally forgotten about the "missing" equipment.
I need to start keeping a jar of skinks in my bottom drawer for emergency situations.

It works on LARPers, too.
