For the sake of being interesting, let’s assume that I can’t wish for company like my wife or friends and that my basic survival needs of food and shelter are met. And electronics are out for obvious reasons (and I won’t wish for a generator either). And let’s be honest, I could come up with way more than ten but these ones seem like some of the best.
1. A soccer ball (If I get lonely I can draw a face on it and call it “Adidas”)
2. Boggle, with paper and pencil to keep score (Nerd Alert!)
3. A big knife (there are so many fun things you can do with a good knife)
4. A journal and writing utensils (when I finally get off the island it would become a bestseller)
5. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (sharpen the saw, Peter. sharpen the saw.)
6. A skim board or boogie board (hopefully the surf’s good)
7. A set of encyclopedia and a dictionary (I like knowledge. And I’m a nerd.)
8. A planisphere (psst… it’s an easy-to-use star chart)
9. Sunglasses (if I didn’t have them, I’d be wishing for them)
10. Lots of toilet paper (I know you agree with me on this one)
[...] Top Ten Things I Would Want On A Deserted Island « “P” is for Peter [...]
Interesting thought Peter. I think i would need an endless supply of salsa and guacamole. You forgot to mention a hot blonde. Sadly, when I think of everything I would have on the island, images of food keep appearing in my head. Back to work I go.
