What would you REALLY like to see Jonathan escape from?

Ok, besides the usual hands-bound scientific approach. What situation would you really like to see him try to get out of?

Personally I'd like to see him escape from a situation that is going to befall me soon: Going to a friend's wedding, where his very large and very strong Jewish Grandmother is going to inevitably grab a fistful of both of my cheeks, tell me how pretty I've gotten (while simultaneously squeezing my cheeks and making my face numb). She's going to be doing this multiple times that day (I know this because she's done it before.)

The stipulation is for a situation like this, there is no simple 'just don't show up' option. When you're the best... er... man... you have to show.

How would Jonathan escape something like that. Or even better.. how would he escape a speeding ticket? A drunken member of the opposite sex? In-laws?

We all have to laugh sometime. What dicey situation would you REALLY like to see him escape?

I read a book and did a school project about Houdini when I was younger and I remember that this particular trick was described as a notable and mysterious one of Houdini's. I'm interested to see whether Jonathan would want to do something like it in the future, despite the risks involved.

All those best men at the wedding, and hyperactive girls is all good but...
What if he promised to show up in a certain city, where he would have a lot of devoted fans, promised a big show, but didn't attend...

Nice meeting you buddy, they will rip you apart for this treachery.

Or an even better one... try to escape a nanny, or even a real bodyguard xD

Or... gnegne... the classical "Girl tied to a railroad track with a train coming up" escape.
Of course, no real train would be used, but a substitute.

And then... try to escape from... a pool filled with piranha's!.
You would have to escape bit by bit though...
Nah, probably not a good idea.; ▶ Reply to This

That reminds me of this, quoted from Jonathan two weeks ago on entertainment.iafrica.com:

"In the UK I did an escape where I was chained up in an elevator naked with my clothes next to me in the elevator and I’m on the 16th floor of an office block and at the bottom of the elevator in the lobby are a group of my family and friends including my girlfriend’s parents who are waiting to jump out and give me a surprise party.

They have no idea what’s going on, they think that they’re going to surprise me and somebody presses the button for the ground floor, so I have the time it takes from the elevator to go from the 16th floor the ground floor to escape and put my clothes back on.

I had one hand free by the time I got to the bottom so I could wave and also hide my modesty slightly."; ▶ Reply to This
