"Yup, the most famous stuff on earth: duct tape."
-Wilderness Survival Teacher Person

That might not be strictly true, but I hope it's at least in the top 100.

You know when people ask questions because they want to seem smart, and it just backfires in such a major way? We have one of those in our class. Oh, so many questions does she ask.

"Um, so I know you shouldn't drink alcohol to warm up in the wilderness, but could you bring, like, a flask, of like tequila or something, for like cleaning wounds and stuff?"
-Dumb Girl in Class

The look on the teacher's face was priceless as he tried to think of something that wasn't equivalent to saying "They're called tiny little rubbing alcohol wipes, dumbass!!"

I'm gonna go have a beer and sit on the couch. YEAH.

    One year ALREADY J? That flew! See if you can't get that Jewish boy DRUNK for his anniversary. I want photgraphic evidence! (I am determined to witness a Mr. Blue drunk-ing one of these days. I'm betting he's HIlarious.)

    Military Man is under the strict impression that duct tape can cure all world issues.

    lol!! Nice impression of a New England sorority girl. :D

    Yup, one year ago it was pouring rain, and we were anxiously hoping that we wouldn't have to swim to the chuppah!

    Corn, I can tell you that Mr. Blue is very fond of fire when he's drinking. (I mean, more so than usual.) And I agree with Military Man - proper application of duct tape could probably cure just about anything! (Maybe we could make a nano-version to cure viruses and diseases?)
