Escaping with style
There were no blaring sirens or flashing lights as I dashed down the corridors, but there might as well have been. Data streaming across one side of my goggles told me that I had successfully triggered the alarm when I took the hard drive stack. I knew I had four and a half minutes until the security forces arrived. When I reached the security door I was already sending signals to my devices connected into the system. A crude video relay looped images of the empty corridor into the security camera feeds. The data mining box cut the stream of keyword-laden signals with which it had been scattering the building system’s attention. Grinning at my own ingenuity, I hit the unlock button. How many other thieves would have got in by manipulating the mood of a building’s computer systems? But then, how many other thieves understood the emergent emotional states of high end electronics? This was why I'd been hired. The door failed to hiss open. Frowning, I slapped the button again. Still

I must say I have a soft spot for golfing when one of my numerous P.E. teachers one day came up with an armful of badly beaten clubs and we had the most fun, trying to find the balls on the rugby lawn without quoting a certain Adam Sandler movie. Our "hole" was 3m (About 10 ft?) wide. XD;;
This could have been something we've said, or shouted, or sang. Yup.
