A tornado is headed your way! Asuming you don't have kids to worry about, can you name the three most important things you would grab to take in the basement with you?

Asked by Dutchess12 (1590points) March 25th, 2009

It happened to me the other night. I grabbed:
1) My tennis shoes
2) My camera
3) My photo albums going back over the last 20 years, w/my kids and all
4) Matt Brownes copy of “The Future Happens Twice”
5) Not Rick, my husband, because he can grab himself, right?
OK Matt, Benny and all you brianiacs. I feel you gearing up to crack on me about my math, but it is all very logical, I assure you.

1=0pts BECAUSE my tennis shoes are NOT important to me—I just didn’t want to go down into The Dutchess’s Cellar without them! Dirt floors, low ceilings…no telling what spiders and snakes I might find! Oh shudder! Oh dear…I have several wisdmrs I need to let out of there, don’t I??!
2=1 pt
3=2 pts
4=1pt (Sorry Matt—I love the book!! Srsly!!)
5= -1, because Rick grabbed himself, I didn’t. Therefore it’s quite simple: 0+1+2+1+ -1=3. Somebody get Benny a graph, please!!

And yes, this is a true story, and yes, it was hairy for a while that night. And yes, these are the things I grabbed.
