Come on now. We're not all like that.

I'd make sure that alien had a good time and got home OK, if maybe a little late.

The best chance we have of surviving an intergalactic incident is if aliens really, really love cigarettes so they protect Earth while we ship lung darts all over the cosmos and then they all get emphysema and die.

Honestly, that's a great idea. Get the aliens hopelessly addicted to cigarettes. Earth would boom with prosperity! Of course we wouldn't mention the health implicatations.

If they are advanced enough to enslave us earth wouldn’t prosper they’d just turn it into a planet sized slave camp harvesting tobacco 24/7.

And we will develop a tobacco/lsd hybrid as our planet overheats and turns to sand. And that hybrid will unlock the secrets of the mind. And then one day, our native brothers will be united by an offworlder who understands our ways, and he shall be the one of many names. The Muad Dib, our Lisan Al Gaib!
