Umbrella or your life! ?

Something really funny happened today. We went out for lunch at a local sandwich joint within walking distance. Storm as usual had to have her umbrella with her to shield her from the "harmful UV rays"despite the protection of her inch-thick sunblock.

After a therapeutic lunch session filled with gossiping & bitching about others, we happily walked back only to discover that our dear Ms Storm has resolutely remembered to carry her umbrella (the all important protection against the sun) but accidentally left her purse behind!

The rest of us started to wonder if her umbrella is more important than her purse!

But I have another view of this...
Imagine a street thug were to aproach her with a knife & threatens "Umbrella or your LIFE!"
Pop Quiz... which would Storm pick?

Better still, would she risk damaging her umbrella in self defense?

Sorry Storm... I know it's under the taekwondo black belt of yours but can't help it... :-p

Storm has just verbally commented that the choice between "Umbrella or your life" is just too easy a question to figure out... It was suggested that I should replace it with "Umbrella or your Sunblock!"

Hmmm....
