The each had a unique skill that they could share with the others to help in their survival.
One was a doctor who could treat illness and wounds.
One was a botanist who knew which plants were eatable and which were poison.
One was a survivalist who knew how to live in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on his back.
One was a psychologist who knew how to keep everyones spirits up.
Well the all died just a few weeks after they were stranded.

The survivalist has a broken leg.
The psychologist is blind and can't tell one plant from another.
The botanist is a cubicle-dweller who is afraid of spiders and scary wind noises.
The doctor is chronically depressed.
There you have it.

How many Ayn Randians does it take to screw in a lightbulb
Why can't the lightbulb screw itself in?
See? Let's work on that.
