Thread Name: BS: Bamboo Clothes
Subject: RE: BS: Bamboo Clothes
My sense of the ridiculous gets me in trouble at times. While working at a maximum security institution as a teacher, I gave in to the urge to draw up a course outline for something called "Escape 101". The chapter titles included

Ladders and How to Build Them from Common Materials
Locks and the Novice
How to Make Your Own Hot Air Balloon Using Things You Find
Tunnels and Their Construction
The Use of a Compass While Underground

and others I now forget. The closing line was "And if you are not here to write the final exam, you will be considered to have passed with Honours."

The head of the institution was NOT amused. Not even a little. Sorry for the thread drift.
