#8  Time to get out of Dodge when they start finding sporks.

Maybe they need a coat room of sorts. "Welcome to another beautiful day of education...please check your weapons at the window, do not lose your number, and remember we do not have valets."

#3  I always found that an 18" piece of 4/0 MTW flexible power cable works fairly well.

It is labelled 'Sample', you know in case I get asked.

A similar piece of welding cable would suffice, too.
