Shop Class: [2/8]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students will find that it has been turned into a movie theater, complete with comfy seating, popcorn and soda.

"Good Morning class. As some of you may have noticed, I was out of town last Wednesday doing some work for my former employer. Somehow that... uh... "work" was taped using pirate radio technology and mistakenly broadcast during a major sporting event over the weekend. Despite the breach in security, I thought you might like to see how one one can escape a dangerous situation by using the most commonplace items."

Mac then shows the work safe footage to the class.

When it's done, Mac turns to the class and gives each student a Mastercard.

"Each card has only $20.00 on it. Your assignment today is to go to town and purchase five items for your own personal survival kit. I then want you to tell me how each item can be used to escape a dangerous situation and why it would be priceless. Assume that you already have a Swiss Army Knife and duct tape. I'll give extra credit for those people who come up with ten items."

[[ETA: Shop Assignment can be handed in on Monday if you need more time or want to play this out.]]

Paper clips (bendable into multiple useful shapes), band aids (do I need to specify?), super glue (for quick fixes of anything, even human skin), mini-sewing kit (for more traditional, somewhat slower fixes), Bic lighter* (you never know when you'll need fire), Bic Roundstick pens* (useful for more things than I can specify), GORP (for quick bloodsugar fixes): from All and Sundries 11.32

1/2 roll of gaffer's tape (for all your anti-duct tape needs): from Empire Records and Bidet 6.00

8 oz of vodka (for molotov cocktails, for anesthetic, for antiseptic): from Caritas 2.50

Finding a free Leatherman tool and an alternative to the hated duct tape: priceless

* - Bic products: guaranteed to never require refills. You'll lose them long before they run out of anything, even if you have them for years.

"Gaffer's Tape? Huh. That would be a good alternative. Nice thinking Nadia."

Nadia's grin could have covered Manhattan.
