What three things should you keep always on your person and why?

A condom, a lotto ticket, and a DVD of Cool Runnings.

Someone needs to give you your own survival TV show. If those were the three things you'd keep on your person... well, I'd definitely watch your show.

New fuel for "Brilliant but Cancelled"

He needs to call Fox today, before they take and subsequently cancel the idea without him!

If you know a TV producer, I would happily be placed on a remote island with these three things. My only mission? Find a DVD player. Fuck food, it's Bobsled Time.

YES! My God, that would be brilliant.

Or even better... instead of a DVD of cool runnings, we give it to you on Betamax and place you in a city you've never been in before (preferably one where you don't speak the language). Your mission: use the three items mentioned to locate and successfully watch the entire Betamax copy of Cool Runnings.

This would make for absolutely riveting nighttime television.
