    A motoycycle because it;

    Gives you a big grin
    Scares the crap out of you
    Clears the clutter of life from your head
    Creates conversations with complete strangers

    and most importantly............makes you feel alive!

    A cat and a sense of contempt for anyone he and his cat encounters.

    An old house. 600 years is old enough to be interesting. I don't exclude the possibility that some modern houses may also be interesting in their own way.

    A real man always carries a well-sharpened pocket knife. My grandfather told me that when I was a little boy. Given that he was a Dutch volunteer with the Allied forces in the Pacific during WW2, participated in half a dozen amphibious landings against the Japanese along with general McArthur, fought a vicious jungle war on Borneo, was wounded several times, got half a dozen medals plus a field commission, was one of only two survivors of a unit of 18 and personally liberated his own wife and children from a Japanese concentration camp in Indonesia where they had been held prisoner for several years, I have taken that advice extremely serious all my life.

    Apart from that, I'd say a debt-free house would do nicely, plus a few good friends.

    Well, they do say that carrying a knife can get you into lots of trouble...

    Only if you live in the wrong country (i.e. the UK). Elsewhere it probably depends on the type of knife (a Laguiole or similar pocket knife won't get you in trouble in France, usually, for instance, but a stiletto or bayonet would.)

    I usually carry a Swiss Army knife of one sort or another. Recently I had to go to the Préfecture de Police (the main Police station for Paris - known colloquially as 'the chicken coop'). Just before I got to the X-ray machine I realised I had a knife in my pocket, so I put it at the bottom of my bag and tried to hide it among pens, keys, USB keys and the like. Anyway, my bag went through the machine and the seemingly half-interested flic stopped his conversation with his colleague, pointed at the screen and said something along the lines of 'what the f*** is that?' Just a little pocket knife, I told him, and that I had forgotten it was in there. 'Right' says the flic, 'put it in your pocket and DON'T take it out until you leave, got it?'. Righto, says I, and off I toddled.
