The purpose of this game is to create a scenario for the next poster to respond to with how they would react.
Example:
Poster 1: The next poster is given a box of chocolate chip cookies.
Poster 2: I give them to my coworker; she loves them.
The next poster is lost in a forest.
Poster 3: I find shelter and start putting all my survival skills to use!
The next poster gets asked to go on an adventure.
Rules:
1. Be creative, but polite.
2. Avoid very specific situations or ones that would require specific knowledge.
3. Remember general forum rules in your questions and answers.
Here we go!

Thankfully, I had on a life jacket and can swim back to the boat.
