He interrupted me to tell me about a cartoon he read on the internet (layer 3) about a writer (layer 4). However, he was interrupted by the door (no layers there). The man at the door, came by to try and (get this) sell him a book on health (that folks, would be freaky layer 5). Of course, the book was simply a gateway to talking about the protestant reformation making me relieved that I was burdened by cat and book and therefore, unable to attend to the door.
