A pipe, the finest bottle of Port you can find and a tweed jacket that smells a little like wet dog.

I've always thought a crowbar might have come in handy, myself.

A really short skirt and high heels.

half-eaten sandwich, just in case you're hungry. (a whole one may be too much and your nervousness may cause something quite spectacular to happen) :rolleyes:

A rugby ball and a brick.

this post just reminded me of my teacher's interview at Durham...he actually ran through the rain to get to his interview ontime, soaking wet, and the minute he walked into the interview room, some rugby player threw a rugby ball at him. (he applied for a sports scholarship)

A bottle of whiskey.

A ball of string, 2 cans of Special Brew, and a flick knife.

Bring your magic cards wth you and perform a magic trick for the proffesors! Then promptly tickle them under the chin and walk out arogantly saying, "Don't pretend you don't love it, I'll take you up on your offer, see you next year, laters".
