The Existential Question

So I've been really troubled lately by a very tough question. I've been losing sleep over this. It goes to the very core of my soul, the meaning of my life. Maybe you can help me find an answer.

Assume you're being chased by zombies. You stumble into a shed, and find a chainsaw and a sawed-off 12 gauge pump shotgun. You can only take one. Which one do you take, and why?

Right now, I'm leaning toward the chainsaw. I figure if you have to take out hundreds of zombies, it might as well be fun. And what could be more fun than cutting zombies in half with a chainsaw?

Besides, a 12 gauge pump will give you a sore shoulder in no time. Whereas with the chainsaw, all you have to worry about is splatter, and there are probably some goggles in the shed. At least if the owner has any concern for safe working conditions.

There you go. I read the first paragraph and was convinced there was going to be something deep just around the corner. But alas, twas just a nightmare in the daylight.

If the fuel tank was full in the chainsaw, I would choose it over the shotgun.
