| 32. You want versatility? |

Jarts could be used for the originally-intended game. They made near-lethal (and sometimes even better!) projectiles for games of War, Alien Invasion, Pesky Kid Brother, Pesky Neighbor Kid, Pesky Random Passerby, and many, many more. Ancillary games arising out of the former ones included Stanching the Blood Flow, Tourniquet, Screaming Mother, Fainting Neighbor Lady, and of course the Ambulance Ride Against Death. I'll admit that Police Interrogation was less fun, but no less versatile from this all-time GREAT toy!

I'd put in corkscrew along with pliers. I can STILL play with corkscrews for a good 5 minutes. |
