Survival Playing Cards

Surely any game of "Go Fish" would be livened up by using these playing cards and contemplating your imminent death by snakebite or hypothermia.

I wonder if they have a card that tells you what to do when you wake up with a bear eating your head.

Seems like you might want to memorize the entire pack before going camping. You don't want to have to thumb through them after your in an emergency.

That whole bear-eating-your-head thing? Grizzly.

Of course, the bear thing reminds me of a similar risk I learned about in SCUBA classes. There was a song:

<singing>
"When just one little bite,
leaves no arm on your right,
That's a moray!"
</singing>

Kenneth - I like it. May I add a verse?

When you get a little shock
somewhere down around your jock
That's a moray!!

the Jack of Spades "Solor Still Illustrated" looks like panties

Jules - I guess that's one way of collecting water.

Jules,

I thought the solar still looked like a uterus and ovaries at first glance... But I don't have a lot of womb for improvement.

My dad always told me that was called Coyote Ugly: you're willing to gnaw your own arm off before you chanced waking her. I never knew if there was a converse saying, but I'm sure women get the same feeling also. I'm sure I've probably brought rise to that feeling in many a woman (my dear wife included).

I think should be one of the kings, maybe with a new design... the One Armed King, most commonly called the Coyote King.

King of Hearts = what to do when the chick you wake up with is the Don's daughter
Jack of Spades = you realize you just slept with Tanya Vlach

For the poker challenged:
king of hearts = suicide king
jack of spades/hearts = one eyed jacks
seven of diamonds/hearts = bloody hockey sticks
