worst case scenario

[sarahk]

Here's one of those "worst case scenario" things to think about before it happens so you can do the right thing in an emergency without having to think it out at the time. Ready?

You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is sharp drop-off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you.

Wait: there's more.

Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.

Whew!

Now: What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

I'll give you some time to post your suggestions

Great answer though....

The only possible answer - call MacGyver

I saw MacGyver do this once. It was complicated.

I also received this the other day - but can't remember the answer!!

Short-term memory loss - a sign of aging, they tell me!

Remind me again how the story finishes...

[SuperDad]

I googled the answer - its worth waiting for!

This sort of nightmare usually stops when I wake up-- but I don't suppose that will happen this time....

If everyone is happy, can't we just leave it be?

Yeah, the lion will get tired soon. Then you can just slow down and relax. Or.... Stop anyway - the lion will eat your horse while you run in the opposite direction. Who let the kangaroo loose anyway? What country are we in?
