In the book/movie Up in the Air, the protagonist 'motivates' people to imagine placing everything they own into a back-pack, then setting it on fire. Of the items in the back-pack, what is the first thing they choose to save?
For me, I'd say let it all burn, but I know a few things are beloved by my wife, so I'd defer to her desires and grab those few things--- or let her do the same with her back-pack. On my own, however, I find toast a most compelling adventure.
Well, how about it?

Then maybe the novelty fire extinguisher i packed in there, because as i see it, the only thing more entertaining than a crazy guy lighting his "metaphorical" backpack on fire would be the same crazy guy trying to put it out with compressed confetti and streamers.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesIf I'd have to pack a house and lots of other stuff into a backpack, I'd put the other stuff into the house before I put the house into the backpack (otherwise my backpack wouldn't be big enough). Then it would make perfect sense to pull out the house first (and last).
"what is the first thing they choose to save?". Odd choice for the first thing Phlabs.
