I take the box that appears to be a recycled Chinese food delivery box,
rather haphazardly wrapped with old newspaper and duct tape (196:4), and
open it. Inside I find a small box delicately wrapped with colorful
wrapping paper with no ribbon, and coated with a small layer of clear
resin. It would seem we've come to the end of this particular package. You 
see, it is further FRC tradition to make the final box of a boxes within 
boxes gift be near impossible to open. When a Rule encounters such a box, 
it must describe a unique way of opening it so that the contents can be 
brought out.

I take out my blowtorch (you need to come prepared to these FRC gift
exchanges) and go to work on the layer of resin. After I melt enough of it 
away, I open the package. Inside I find a FB100 gift certificate to the 
Fantasy Rules Emporium, slightly singed. Oops.

I give my blowtorch (FB24.99) to FRC for assisting the committee in
opening other gifts.
