You are SO lucky!
I used to work for a company that came up with something similar. We had group coordinators. They were each assigned duffel bags with white plastic hard hats. Nobody knew why, but most of use hoped that management would think it gave them super powers and wouldn't leave in case of a fire.
We once had a bomb threat phoned in (coincidentally, just after some people were fired), and once everyone was standing in the parking lot, the Grand Poobah of group coordinators sent one of the janitors back in to look for it. (I had no idea he was an explosives expert.) The sheer stupidity and worthlessness of the whole thing finally dawned on management, and the cute duffel bags were finally discarded.
Anyhow, you should hold out for a hat with a siren and flashing lights.

I was thinking of demanding a machine gun to hold off the enemy in case of civil unrest.

Oh Crate, you know I'm so going to upload that picture just for you.
Hmmm, maybe I should get a bunch of those guns and just hand them out with the rum nips.

I love the thinking cap and bucket of enthusiasm idea!
I believe in safety, but this is just downright stupid, and it's the kind of thing that gives safety a bad name. Oh, and guess what? I have to *send* those e-mails and memos at my work, but I try to respect peoples' intelligence, and never pull a guilt trip or tell them they'll "really belong!"
And you know, being a team player, which I know you are, you should really bring your own machine gun! And plans for a trebuchet. (http://www.trebuchet.com)
At least you'll get a blog entry out of it.

I'm SO building a trebuchet to take with me, just a small one. I'll demonstrate its usefulness by flinging dead fish at people who speak too long. I bet I'll have an order for them from the college in no time, plus BONUS! I'll probably have orders for dead fish too!

And then you could sell them afghan trebuchet covers. Brilliant marketing!
