    Default The wings or the beer?

    Here is the situation: You are walking home from purchasing delicious hot wings and a 12 pack of beer. Not your favorite beer, something affordable, but not Miller Light or anything like that. You also bought some other stuff at the liquor store, enough that you need to carry the wings in one hand, to keep them level, and the liquor loot in the other. You know that if you need to draw your weapon on the way home, you'll have to drop something.

    So which is it going to be; carry the beer in your strong hand, or the wings in your strong hand? Only you can decide.

    I carry the beer in my left hand so I can still draw if necessary. I would sarifice the wings. No question about it.

    The wings go in the strong hand. They're easier to throw at an attacker and then your strong hand will be free immediately and besides, dropping the liquor would be alcohol abuse.

    Drop the wings, the beer will get all shook up, and I imagine that after having to be in a "shoot" situation will require a couple beers afterwards.

    Well, one thing I didn't think about, was that by the time I got home, the beer holding hand was actually numb from the weight of the beer. I don't know if it was how I was holding it, but I've been experiencing this problem lately while lugging around heavy things just with my fingers.

    Admirable McGuiver idea, but by the time I rigged that up, I could have been halfway home. All the way if I jogged.

    I thought about a poll, but I wasn't feeling witty enough to make the appropriate selections.

    Crap. I don't have my "donkey poser" avatar to back up my statement. Therefore, my point, invalid as it is, is without merit.
