Poll question: Your house is on fire and you can only save one - who do you pick:

1. No spouse, no kids...easy choice for me...n/t

[Bertha Venation]

2. my spouse because i have no kids

[existentialist]

3. My spouse, but

it may not work because she'd probably go back in after the cats.

[guitar man]

4. That's a tough one but

I'd have to go for the kid, she's only 3 and I think her mom stands a better chance of getting out by herself.

[skygazer]

5. I grab the pets, my spouse grabs the kids

Voila!

[arcadian]

6. Other: weed

what if your dope was on fire?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. Inhale

Deeply.

Put on Allman Brothers CD.

Chill.

Dorito's!

[Fleshdancer]

7. The kid

My spouse would be attempting the same thing.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. Same here...

If I saved my spouse and let the kid go, I don't think she'd ever forgive me. And vice versa.

[petronius]

8. Other - my laptop. You don't think I'm going to sit on the lawn watching my house burn down,

and not even have internet access, do you?

[LynneSin]

9. "Dear DU, my house is on fire. What do you suggest I do?"

:hide:

[Heidi]

12. Ginger. CMW knows how to get out of the house from any of the exists.

We've discussed this over the years, thus CMW's chances of surviving are significantly higher than 50 percent.

[LynneSin]

[firecrackerfilms]

18. ahh

my blankie

[MrScorpio]

19. I only have a spouse

So she's the only one chosen

[PassingFair]

20. My spouse is on his own....

I'd save the children, and I'd expect him
to do the same.

[lukasahero]

21. If I had kids, they'd be first - since I don't

My husband would grab me, I'd grab the dog. Although, when Bella's frightened she comes gets us, so maybe she'd grab us and we'd all go out together. :)

[old mark]

22. Other - my wife and my Les Paul Special....Pets have to make it on their own. nt

[Zavulon]

23. I'm not married, but I'm in a long-term relationship and I save my girlfriend before anyone else.

Not a chance that I pick anyone other than her, even if there are kids involved.
