Default Unknown Red Clip

Hopefully someone can identify this. I have a 1996 and found this lying on the floor on the driver's side next to the transfer case shifter. I looked under the dash but couldn't find where it came from.

It activates the ejection system. When you get into trouble, you pull it, the roof flies off and you get sent high into the air where your parachute eases you safely to the ground....

If I found one, I would put it with my mysterious transmission shipping plug everyone finds with their first transmission pan drop.

Since my truck didn't come with the ejector seat option, I checked the fire extinguisher and you where correct. Thanks for the help.
