Dorothy's Quick Escape: New app offers escape from awkward situations

Have you ever been on a bad date, run into a former friend, or any other awkward social situation?

Maybe you wish you could click your heels like Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" to make a quick escape. Now, there's an app for that.

A tech company called iStrategyLabs has come up with Dorothy. The app includes a small wearable device that is programmed to work with your phone. You can program the device and attach to your shoe.

If you're in an awkward situation and need to get away, just click your heels three times (or some other pre-programmed signal). That motion will send a signal to your smartphone to make a fake call. Then, you can make your excuses and make an escape.

It's not clear if you can order the app right now, but here's a link to the company's website.
