Chinese Bus Passengers Issued With Yellow Bricks
ABOARD a bus of China’s Harbin Public Transport Company, passengers are carrying a yellow brick.
The bricks bear the legend “emergency use” written on both sides. Says a spokesman:
“It’s easy for passengers to spot them, and use them to break the window if something happened.”

The company had issued little hammers but the passengers kept stealing them. Adds the spokesman:
“We don’t think anybody will be interested in stealing bricks.”
Course not…
