Imagine that during your military training, you are provided with a small wooden box with the instructions, "Only open in an emergency." What is in the box? |

ii) A legal document, absolving the government from any responsibility for your impending doom.
iii) A beer
iv) a signed photo of our glorious leader.
v) A thank you note. |

A dose of gamma radiation and that serum they used to make Captain America, of course. Could it be anything else? I think NOT!

I like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch answer, but by the time you read through the instructions, the emergency might very well have passed. |

I like the coin to toss answer, but I'm going with a BFG9000 from Doom. One trigger pull and all your problems go away. |

A small folded sheet of paper, which, when unfolded reveals the instructions for how to close the box. |
| etotheipi | 18 Jan 2019 7:57 a.m. PST |
He he he … how about - Instructions on how to open the box - An inventory list of things to put in the box before deployment - A 1348 form you can turn into Supply to get emergency supplies/equipment to fill the box - A note from the guy who "reallocated" the emergency supplies from this box - A backorder receipt for emergency supplies and equipment |

etotheipi, most likely. Though I'd bet on- One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. |

One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; You forgot to mention that it is .22 ammo. emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; Or one bottle of vodka. Potayto – potahto. |
