Also, carry a handkerchief. If you take more than a few minutes to
escape the aircraft, you will need more air than is in the bag. Tie the
bag tight around your head just below your nose, so you can see and
rebreath fine. Piss on the handkerchief, place it over your mouth, and
breath through it. The piss removes the toxins in the air (this was the
basis of the original 'duck head' French gas masks of WWI).>>>
I don't know if this rates post-of-the-month but it should
at least get an honorable mention...
I'm *STILL* trying to figure out if this is serious...LOL.
