Hailed as a working class hero, we all secretly (or not so secretly) want to emulate Steven Slater in his daring escape into freedom, and now we can with the Slip Quit. A personal airport slide, it is essentially a mini replica of the one involved in the infamous JetBlue incident.
Of course, it's not real. But I'm sure you wish the Slip Quit was. I mean, not only is the Slip Quit good for quitting with a bang, it also "great for: last minute jiltings, escaping boring parties, avoiding awkward conversations and gastrointestinal emergencies," according to the advertisement.
