Working Girl, Part 2

This earthquake stuff is serious business. As part of my job training, I had to review the office's disaster preparedness plan. Among the items I am advised to keep in my desk:
  • non-perishable food
  • can opener
  • 3-5 liters of bottled water
  • warm shirt
  • walking shoes
  • waterproof jacket
  • essential medications
  • plastic bags
  • dust mask
  • torch (flashlight) with extra batteries
  • sunscreen
  • deck of cards and/or board games

One of these things is not like the others; One of these things just doesn't belong; Can you tell which thing is not like the others; By the time I finish my song? (Remember that little ditty from Sesame Street?)

The Kiwis acknowledge they might slowly starve to death while trapped in the office, but damnit, they're gonna have fun doing it! At least I'll die knowing how I stack up against my co-workers in a game of Yahtzee. I promise to represent America to the best of my ability, even if my rolling hand has been crushed by falling debris.
