Shop Class: [1/23]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter the shop class they'll find that the room has been turned into what appears to be a ghost town.

With multiple versions of Mac's beat up jeep.

"Today kids? We're going to be doing the MacGyver version of car repair."

Today's Assignment:

"Each of these jeeps have the exact same problems. Your job is just to fix *one* of those problems on the car. Unless you're an overachiever who feels the need to get extra credit."

"The situation is that you have been on a camping trip to this ghost town and you just found out that your jeep has one of the following problems:"

1. Cut brake line
2. Blown fuse
3. Crack the in the radiator
4. You lost the keys to the jeep
ETA: You can get into the jeep because there's no top to it. You just can't start it.

Mac points out each of the problems and where they are located for the car engine impaired.

"The list of items you have with you?"
A pack of gum
A ball point pen
A cooler full of food for breakfast, including eggs, bacon, OJ and bread.
Swiss Army Knife
Duct Tape (Duct Tape alone will not be accepted as a solution)

"I know some of you may not have any experience in car repair, so if you want to buddy up with a partner."

Having no experience with cars, Stark stared at the jeep for a long time before getting started. Chewing thoughtfully on a slice of bread from the cooler, he looks at what he has for supplies. The food doesn't seem useful, but he's not one to ever turn down food so he continues eating the bread.

After a while, he decides to attempt to patch the brake line. Muttering to himself, like he tends to do, he starts to cut the pen casing to a smaller size. The rest of the line looked like it needed to be flexible, so he thought putting the entire pen casing in might cause problems. Unfortunately, he neglected to dismantle the pen first and ends up with ink all over his hands.

Grumbling, and having run out of bread to eat, he chews some of the gum and sticks it around the middle of the pen casing. It needs to stay in place inside the brake line, after all. Then he attaches the two cut ends of the line to the gum, lining them up as best he can manage. And then duct tape around the outside, because duct tape is the solution to all problems in the multiverse.

Having finished that, he climbed inside the jeep and spent the rest of the class trying, and failing, to make the vehicle start without keys.
