Uh oh. Know that fear that every one has of drowning? Bitch, as soon as you got halfway across the river I would take your boat out. And as you swam to the safety of the island, I would hold your head under until you learned who the master is. Then, and only then, I would use a butter knife to sever your head and put it on the warning pole...



I wouldn't use a boat. I'd sink yours. I'd Watch you all crawl out, expend your energy, silently follow you and take advantage of you while youre at your camp sleeping on how you can get all your supplies out of a sank boat.. When you're most vulnerable. Easy.

Sleep tight.

I'd charge a fee to grieving families to track down their zombified relatives and put them down, giving everyone peace.

I'd cut your throat while you slept, next to your wife. As you faded out, id be whispering into your ear what I was going to do to your family.



Kind of hard to do that with your head resting on top of a sharpened pole with a blood warning written upon your forehead.

Hell, I'd even use your blood for the lube.



Now that's a decent idea! Perhaps we could use a mind like yours in our colony if you behave yourself. Fall out of line and you'll die the most horrible death imaginable.

Surprised no one has mentioned "Planned Parenthood Entrepreneur" as an end of time job.

I'm not riding out the apocalypse with Moe, Larry and Shemp.

There are vehicles now that are able to run using 100% ethanol. 1.5 gallons of ethanol produces the energy of one gallon of gasoline. It can be done.

Ethanol kills organisms by denaturing their proteins and dissolving their lipids and is effective against most bacteria and fungi, and many viruses. Uses to make many different types of tinctures. Get a fire started quickly. Etc

Has huge medical, medicinal and productive uses. Alcohol is a fricking must


Plus your methanol byproduct could be an effective poison.

Methanol is the byproduct, and it is extremely toxic to humans.

If you didn't know that already, you have no business distilling anything.

Sorry to hear that, sir. The river is quite fast and swimming would be more than a little difficult. That, and our "pet" gators make such a feat a little fun. But, that would be the least of your worries...

It has quite a few other uses too. Destructive and productive.

I would be a spice controller because, he who controls the spice, controls the universe.

It has occurred to me that none of my skills or knowledge would be applicable to a post-apocalyptic society.


We'll cross train you to handle improvised power generation equipment and, probably, firearms maintenance and ammunition reloading - a lot of your current skills would be transferable, IMHO.

I'm more than comfortable in the wetlands.

In all seriousness, you put yourself on something floating in a river, especially, anyone worth their skin is going to know someone is going to eventually come out.

They're going wait, doing recon work. From knowing your mannerisms and interaction with others..to just how many bullets they need. With the cover of surroundings, youd never see it coming. Literally sitting ducks. Same thing with an island. Anyone with a decent scope, rifle and aim and it's done.
