Yep, that was my weapon of choice but I hate to admit it. They might ban beer!

#3 If you use them bottom first they're practically indestructible.

#5 And to be honest the bra/gasmask is somewhat practical if one lives in an area with rockets raining down from time to time, rockets that would have chemicals in them if the Palestinians could get ahold of some.
