Since InterruptedException is a declared exception, we need to either declare it in any method that calls these, or we need to handle it in some way -- that's what Goetz is basically talking about. If you want to handle thread interrupts then you will often need to do more than swallow the interrupted exception.  Just for grins, if we consider 

Goetz and others point out that you should never swallow InterruptedException, but re-interrupt the 
thread after handling it.
