Blast INTERCEPTOR Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/15/02 Posts: 3760 Loc: TX	Originally Posted By: Jeanette_Isabelle Originally Posted By: brandtb A Christmas Story: Never say the F-word in front of your father, even if you lose all the lug nuts. I would not call that scene a survival situation. Getting one's tongue stuck to a pole would. Jeanette Isabelle Depending on the location, losing just one lug nut can turn an annoyance into a survival situation. Losing all of them definitely ups the risk. I think the take home message from that scene is what may "slip out" can have very major consequences and so one should strive to control themselves even in non-emergencies. For another "non-survival survival movie" I suggest "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". It shows the importance of improvisation, open-mindedness, maintaining a positive attitude, and dressing for the weather. -Blast _________________________ Foraging Texas Medicine Man Plant Co.

And then drive home very slowly. Edited by brandtb (08/09/21 10:03 AM) _________________________ Univ of Saigon 68
