Essential ItemsOur friend always carries 30ft of lightweight rope with him. We took the piss until we heard he got stuck in a lift, and managed to get everyone out in 5 mins.
What odd things to you always carry with you?

Guess the prank's on meI read once about a guy who carried a jar of mud in his car with him. He figured the cops would pull him over sometime. "What's in the jar, son?" "Just mud." "Riiiight. Hand it over." Several thousand dollars worth of lab tests later: it's mud.
Ha ha! What a cool idea! Off I go to the river and get my very own jar of mud. Jar goes in the back seat. Winter comes.
*Physics lesson*: water, including that included in mud, expands when it freezes, causing a sealed glass jar to shatter (coefficient of linear expansion).
*Another physics lesson*: water, including that included in mud, thaws when the temperature climbs above 0 C.
*Life lesson*: melted mud is very tough to get out of cloth car upholstery.
