5 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 4

The only one that I don't get is the money one... does that mean I don't value money? Or that I'm not concerned about it?

[REdOX]

That was interesting. However I don’t see the correlations. I think it was a joke set-up to make people choose #5. Like who in their right minds would let a running tap overflow?

[keely]

Sorry, but this isn't relevant at all. To extrapolate a person's values from a set of practical circumstances like this is pretty silly.

First of all, when it comes to phone=work, voicemail makes it practical and normal for one to return a call after practical emergencies like water overflows and crying babies are taken care of.

Second, I only answer the door when I'm expecting someone that has made a previous arrangement or something to arrive (a delivery). Period. That doesn't mean that friends are lowest on my priority list. Or that I don't believe that if a friend was at the door and knew they were expected, that they wouldn't be patient, try around back or call me on my cell phone to make sure I was okay. Does that mean I don't value friends more highly than other priorities on the list?

And what the hell does water damage to drywall and hardwood floors have to do with sex? Sheesh.

Sorry, this is a dumb one.

It was all for fun... just something that made me chuckle...

It made me cry.... now you need to make up for it by baking me cookies!

[vibechick]

Jackie, you bake? Sweet, you can bring cookies to the next meet!

[DJDoubleLP]

Jackie cooks? Did she install an oven in her car and not tell us....since she does practically live in her car.
