Danger on the dotted line

On the day:

On the way: 
He's little more than a boy in his smart black suit, clean white shirt, shiny blue tie and neat haircut. But the blood runs cold. Fight or flight. 
What menace lurks in his yellow plastic folder? What does he want me to sign up for? A subscription to The Watchtower? A high-interest, instant-access, cash-in-your-hand loan? A Spanish hedge-fund investment scheme? A billion-year commitment to the Church of Scientology? 
No my young friend, not even if you can channel Cruise-grade megawatts through that unassuming little white smile of yours. 
That's right, find yourself a quiet corner of the bus where you can do no harm. 
Okay folks, return to your seats. Danger over. Crisis averted. Nothing to see here.
