MacGyverisms

1. To stop the secret police following him, MacGyver blocks the exhaust pipe of their car with a potato in order to stall the engine.
2. MacGyver stops a pursuing boat by clogging the intake for the boat's inboard motor with a floating device made from a blanket, some rope, and jerrycans.
3. To break out of a locked ward in a mental hospital, MacGyver uses the spring steel filament support wires from a light bulb as lock picks.
