     • 1) Turning down the thing if asked
     • 2) How to avoid accepting the thing when someone is trying to just hand it to you
     • 3) How to refuse/give the thing back if they've opted for just placing it somewhere in your home, then stating they've done so and that they really hope you'll like it, or if you've already failed at step 2
     • 4) Failing all that, how to not feel bad about never reading the manuscript/using the thing, and what to say when asked about it later

SOMEbody once told me the world is able to submit their favorite questions or questions they may have for the podcast to [e-mail], anonymously at bit.ly/askhanandmatt, or to [e-mail] for a Han-only written answer on hanandmattknowitall.com. What a concept! We could all use a little advice.
