Survival Poncho

My daughter's class is putting a shoebox of stuff together, then will raffle it off. Maybe it will inspire others to do the same, given the recent stranded folks. Hoping the Dad is found soon. Anyway, can you think of any other items that may be included or did we cover it? Thanks!
Auto Survival Kit

1)4 Water bottles
2)Water proof matches, lighter, flashlight with extra batteries, candles
3)Small tool kit, utility knife or pocket knife
4)Rope and twine
5)Thermal blanket
6)4-6 energy bars, high calorie, crackers, granola bars, hard candy
7)Whistle
8)Compass
9)Flares
10)First aid kit
11)Container for water collection
12)Aspirin
13)Electrical tape
14)Ponchos/umbrella
15)Scissors
16)SOS sign
17)Heavy Work gloves
18)Extra socks
19)TP or tissues
20)Trash bags
21)Lip balm
That would keep us warm Kody!
Great ideas everyone! Thanks!!!!

Instead of a flashlight with batteries, one of those shake-up flashlights would be better since batteries tend to run out faster when it's cold.

My brother is moving off to Texas this upcoming spring. He is 21 and is moving there from Ohio.

My brother (different brother) and i were trying to think of what to get him and decided upon a "Texas Survival Kit", where we would get him a bunch of little funny things, some of which would help him in Texas, and some for a cheap laugh.

With every item i get him, i think i'm going to write a little explanation on the gift and its significance.

*Here are some of my ideas thus far.

1.) Spanish-English Dictionary: As a kid you were a fool to ever think you would use the German which you chose to learn in high school. To make up for your mistake, i have gotten you a last minute, equally effective solution....

2.)Poncho: It rains slightly less in Texas than it does in Ohio. "Then why a poncho" you may ask? Because the kind of rain in Texas will stain your clothes. Texas is responsible for more executions than any other state in the United states. Ohio's 28 executions quivers in the shadows of Texas's 423, with 373 more to come. It is sure to be a blood bath....

These are examples of the kinds of things i'm trying to do. Any other examples would be greatly appreciated.

*I apologize to any Texan offended. It is a joke. I'm not amazingly funny, but funny is the only thing you can be when you don't have much money.

The 'Rules of the South' are as follows!!!
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup
truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get
dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like money to
us. Get over it. Don 't like it? I-40 goes east and west, I-65 goes north
and south. Pick one.

5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton
strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. So every person in the south waves. It's called being friendly. Try to
understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in,?we WILL
shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up?to your ear
at the time.

8. Yeah, we eat catfish &; crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's
available at the corner bait shop.

9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a ?religious
holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of
age.

11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak.? Or you
can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!?
Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff?you
eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!

13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over
ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to
shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and
the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it
spooks the fish.

16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities ,
Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a
love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come
for the holidays.

17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.
So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap?ain't
music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your
boxers! Refer back to #1!


Maybe this is the way to teach the 10 Commandments today! Maybe then people would 'get it'.






The Texas Ten Commandments



Some people in Texas have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's ' in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms.. So, some folks in Texas got together and translated the 'King James' into Harris County' language..... no joke, read on...


The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments


(posted on the wall in a Church in Houston, Tx)


(1) Just one God

(2) Put nothin' before God

(3) Watch yer mouth

(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'

(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa

(6) No killin'

(7) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal

(8) Don't take what ain't yers

(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'

(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff



Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? Y'all have a nice day.
