Key ideas in Indiana Jones in Your Poolhouse
- Modern clothing makes you look like an unidentified enemy or undercover agent to a man from 1936
- Keeping palms open and flat at chest height proves you aren't holding weapons without acting like a captured enemy
- Sudden, ambiguous hand placements escalate his combat posture immediately
- Jones suffers from an extreme, irrational phobia of snakes
- A coiled, ribbed hose or dark vacuum line in dim light instantly looks like a serpent to him
- Triggering his snake reflex leads to blind panic, lunging, or reckless physical violence
- Addressing him as 'Dr. Jones' appeals directly to his academic identity and pride
- Familiar nicknames like 'Indy' feel invasive or mocking from an apparent stranger
- Civilian small talk or generic titles do nothing to dispel the suspicion that you are an interrogator
- In 1930s combat training, reaching toward the small of the back or a pocket signals pulling a concealed revolver
- A sudden reach inside outerwear prompts him to tackle or disarm you preemptively
- All benign adjustments to personal devices or clothing must be halted until he is calm
- Offering an authentic analog object—like paper, brass, or leather—gives his senses something recognizable from his own era
- Glowing screens and lightweight touch interfaces look incomprehensible or weaponized to someone from 1936
- Physical weight and familiar mechanical action ground his racing mind faster than verbal explanations
- A 1930s digestive system lacks tolerance for modern synthetic preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and heavily processed emulsifiers
