Game: "killing room floor"

One of the most horrible jobs in the world has to be cleaning up the slaughterhouse.  Not only does it have the worst hours, usually from midnight to 5am, but it also has the lowest rate of pay and is most likely to be given to undocumented workers without benefits.  The dangers are horrifying: each worker has a hose shooting out a toxic mixture of near boiling water mixed with chlorine.  The fumes alone cause headaches and neurological damage.  Because of the steam, visibility is reduced to nearly zero, which means that workers often accidentally spray each other.  They need to hose out the catwalks and vats, but because they can't see, the number of accidents and even deaths is shockingly high.  For more information, check out this excerpt from Eric Schlosser's book Fast Food Nation" at http://wesclark.com/temp/worst_job.html.

The game:
Use a wet slide covered with liquid soap mixed with red food coloring.  Give each player a hose and glasses covered over with paint or tape so their visibility is limited.  If you fall or get wet, you "die".  If you spray another player, he or she "dies" and you go to jail.  Whoever is left standing wins.  The game should take less than three minutes.
