There are a few things that can be used to date a

person, or at least see if they have the same kind of background that you do.

I recently posted a poll in a certain website asking what a person shoud do with a 1960s B-52 aircraft survival kit.

62% of the respondents answered that you take it to Vegas for a weekend.

Several of them quoted the contents by heart.


Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find:

- 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.

"Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all of that stuff."


Of course, the question was a reference to the movie "Dr. Strangelove" where Major Kong is headed off to war on a mission to bomb the Russiand. It is a classic of the early sixties.

Most of the guys that picked up on my tongue in cheek question were older, but it was refreshing to see that a number of the respondents were fairly young.
