The explanation that I was actually hugging a fascist alien did not seem to help matters.

I've never seen one in the fantasy/sci-fi section, but definitely on the "humour" displays. Ahem. It's a rarely known fact that Daleks are, actually, very good yoga teachers. Whilst poor at demonstrating it themselves, they can be clear and direct in telling the participants what to do. "ELEVATE. ELEVAAAAATTTTTEEEEEE" for example, and the added stress of being shouted at by a genocidal, megalomaniac, deluded alien with lethal weaponry is enough to make most people work through any pain, emptied bowels/bladders and so on. Fear is a kind of inner peace, you see. They tend to be in the comedy section of stores, Stephen. I’ve never seen one in the fantasy/sci-fi section, but definitely on the “humour” displays. Ahem.
