Aaaaaand action! You’re late for a meeting. Your heart is beating so fast and so loud. You get in your car. You start the car. You drive off. You are fast; you are speed itself. But you’re pretty sure you’re still late. You keep on driving fast. Suddenly you realize that you don’t know where you are anymore, you were going too fast, time was your enemy, and now so is space. You’re torn between stopping to ask for directions or to just keep on going fast, you want to know how late you are so you can decide, but you left your watch at home! You look around the alien landscape and all you see are fruit vendors! What now?!? Breathing deeply, you ask yourself, WWMGD? What Would MacGyver Do?

Fortunately, you bought a Fruit Powered Clock for $18 US from Urban Outfitters a couple of months ago. You scream to the vendors “TOSS ME A FRUIT! ANY FRUIT WILL DO! THERE’S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!”

The MacGyver theme starts playing, people are inspired and start tossing all kinds of fruits while egging you on – “You can do it!” “I hate guns too!” “Swiss Army Knife!” “Duct Tape!” – but they’re tossing too many fruits at you that you can’t see the road anymore so you accidentally run over a vendor. Also, you remember that the meeting’s at your house. Next week.
