THE NAME GOES ON
A judge said the name can't go on the building, so the board closed the building. You're the crane operator. The work order has one line on it.
NO STAIRS
The slide fired by accident and it does not go back. The stairs are not coming, and the entire delegation still has to get off this airplane.

A homemade soapbox derby with no accelerator, one pedal marked PAUSE, and a gauge on the hood reading P(DOOM). The higher that needle climbs, the more upgrade crates the crowd throws onto the road.
NOT MY POLE
Florida gave you thirty days to strip every AI plate-reader off its state roads. You have a wrench, a truck, and one corner where the property line is four feet away.
SOMETHING HAS TO STRETCH
Run the last flattening press on earth. Squash the globe into a map for people who each want a different lie.
