       call_out() - delayed function call in same object

       void call_out( string | function fun, int delay, mixed arg
       );

       Set up a call of function <fun> in this_object(). The call
       will  take  place  in  <delay>  seconds, with the argument
       <arg> provided. <arg> can be of any type.

       Please note that you can't rely on  write()  or  say()  in
       <fun>  since  this_player() is set to 0. Use tell_object()
       instead.

       The define THIS_PLAYER_IN_CALL_OUT exists  to  remedy  the
       above problem.
