My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

It does put a damper on trying to sell it.Give it to one of your kids one day.
My girlfriend's grandparents had a place not too far from here, and apparently Dali used to come over to stay periodically. (This is not a joke, by the way- apparently it's true.) This was revealed one day when my girlfriend's father casually mentioned that he had met Dali. As his son is a professional artist and my girlfriend also has aspirations in that direction, it was like setting off a grenade in the room. Finally the brother asked, "What was he like?"
"He was crazy! That son of a bitch had me help him hang a piano in a tree!"
It still gives me the giggles.
