I'm grinning happily as I read your post!  There are other places where
it can also be very dangerous to walk if you don't know how.  One of
them was a locked ward in a large mental hospital before tranquilers
were invented. Another was a detox unit that catered to indigent street
addicts. Never knew what was coming to the door in the middle of the
night.
And, some of the most dangerous human beings I've met were also rather
smallish :).  In fact, the first attack I ever had from a patient was by
a six month old child who threw a syringe at me after I'd given it a
shot.
