While you’re at it, try the following:

1. Find a copy of _Kilroy Was Here_, or _Paradise Theater_.

2. Grind to a fine powder.

3. Sprinkle into water used for dipping baby (for better accuracy, calculate volume of album before pulverizing).

4. Presto! Instant invulnerability.

5. (optional) Shoot arrows at child to test.
