  1. 1. To make a 'mental note' means to be sure you remember something later. For example, if you find out you don't like tomatoes, you make a mental note not to eat tomatoes next time you have them.


    2. The 'football' is a suitcase filled with instructions on how to set off nuclear bombs. They use the word football as a code word to disguise what the suitcase actually contains.

  2. Making a mental note means to remember-in your head a fact or opinion or just anything. The ''football'' is so important because it holds all the supplies for nuclear bombs and whoever has the "football" could make some serious damage.

  4. A mental note is to have a reminder about something you went to remember.The reason the football was so important is because a random person can launch nukes for fun and that could kill a lot of people.

  5. To take a mental note means to remember something; it could be important, or it could be something like, remembering a website or something like that.

    The "football" Judson misplaced was a suitcase that contained the little present inside of the suitcase that the recent president gave Judson. I thought that the "football" is kind of like a baby almost, if you misplace it or do not take care of it, you might not be a good babysitter; or in Judson's case, not a very good "football sitter".

  6. The football is a briefcase with a missile in it. It is important because it is very dangerous. Someone could kill others if they got it.

  7. I think it means he did it in his head because "mental" means in your head. Well "football" in this case means his brown briefcase that he got handed to meant the football that John Doe meant. It was so important because a terrorist could take it, and also he could be " needed here".

  8. A mental note is when you keep something in mind that is usually something you really want to remember. The "football"is a briefcase with the controls of a nuclear bomb. It is so important because if it fell into the wrong hands Washington D.C. could become flattened and thousands of people could be killed including Judson.

  11. To make a mental note it means that you have a thought in your head(I think). The football that Judson misplaced it actually wasn't a football it was a suitcase with nuclear launch codes thats why it's so important and if somebody got a hold of them and didn't turn them in he could destroy half of the world or possibly destroy the whole world.
