That might work but it would have only bought me a short amount of time and soon the other guests would chat out and slowly depart, all shaking my hand and wondering why I would be so rude to remain seated as the ladies leave the room.
Then I'd transform from a welcome guest, to a inconvenient interloper and finally an impossible annoyance. Perhaps, with time, they could find a way of putting up with me, standing me against the wall and using my protuberance as a coat hook or hat rack.
