I cannot, in good faith, allow the teacup to remain where it might be harmed. You will understand that after surviving the notzombies, as you call them, such a fate would be cruel and intolerable.
Therefore, and because I feel the community could use a liberal dash of goodwill, I recommend we schedule our Senior Mixer for the coming weekend, where your teacup may be the guest of honor. Any young friends, loves and relations may, of course, also attend. I have a large property behind the shop. Perhaps we should raise a tent.
