OPERATION THUNDERBOWEL

Buried amidst the "bathroom humour" jokes, there are some funny bits, with
creative and even logical puzzles. The James Bond takeoff is not overdone,
though I thought there would be a puzzle involving piranhas. There are some
unusual moves, so you need to figure out some things by trial-and-error and
dying. In one location, it is pretty clear what you need to do, but if you
read the sign, it spells it out fully (I'll admit this is helpful as it is
hard to figure out the syntax without it). For some reason, this tickled me.
Hints:
PRESSing the GREEN BUTTON both starts and stops the car.
DRIVE HOME first. You need what you find there.
The leaflet is not needed once you've read it.
You can get frustrated taking things out of the briefcase, so don't bother.
A good place to drop things if you are not sure if you will need them again,
is in your car.
Once you've used an object, or extracted the information you need from it, you
can drop it.
Of what use is the piece of paper? You should have some idea if you have
watched at least one James Bond movie.
Even if you eat the food you find, and still get messages, that you need food,
don't panic.
Also don't panic if you finish with less than 100 %.
For a completely irrelevant aside (but 10 more points), OPEN BLUE DOOR and do
what is needed there. You need the cheque.
