Would you rather?

[Vinayaka]

Logically...arrested. The car breaking down, no matter when or where will cost me money and time anyway. Being arrested for something I didn't do could result in monetary award (besides, been there done that, not so bad really).

Would you rather step on a large nail sticking straight up from a board with your bare feet, or have a heavy duty staple punctured through your thumb?

the thumb, I like walking ... would you rather eat a duck or eat crow?

 

[Infinitum]

Would you rather be arrested for a crime you didn't commit and released the next day when they realized your innocence, or have your car break down in the pouring rain in the middle of the night?

I've had the car break down in all kinds of situations. Once that meant that we spent two weeks (okay, it was partly because it was pretty fun) stranded in an old house with no electricity downstairs, preparing our food in an old oven, in a city of perhaps 1000 inhabitants and 100 km to the closest repair station. As long as it's summer, I'm fine with adventures like that. I don't think I'd like the stress from being arrested.

Which one would you rather do, spend a week with the scariest teacher from your childhood years or jump down a plane trusting someone else will catch you?

I haven't tasted either, but I like crows, so duck.

 

[Penumbra]

-I'd prefer to have a staple in my thumb than a nail into one of my bare feet.

-I guess I'd eat a duck before a crow, given the necessary option. People tend to eat ducks rather than crows, so I guess they are more palatable, and crows are probably smarter.

-I'm not sure what it means to jump from a plane hoping someone will catch me, considering that nobody could possibly catch a force of that magnitude. I guess I'd choose to spend time with the creeper teacher, then. And who's to say I'd be at the disadvantage? I'm not spending a week with him- he's spending a week with ME! Muahahahaha!

Would you rather be killed by a grizzly bear or bitten by an Egyptian cobra?

 

[Infinitum]

I remember seeing people so a number of people jump and then then catches you and open their parachutes to get you safely down. I might remember it wrong too, so you can take it as a theoretical situation. Surviving over 30% of your body burned is also very unlikely, so let's not get stuck on details.

Would you rather be killed by a grizzly bear or bitten by an Egyptian cobra?

The cobra. At least there's a small chance of survival, is there?

 

[Quagmire]

I'll go with the Grizzly, because I'd hate to see all this good meat go to waste.

Would you rather zig or zag?

Oh, so you mean someone falling down with a parachute to catch me? That makes a bit more sense to me now.

I guess I'd still pick the teacher, considering that's a week of inconvenience in comparison, but as far as situations go, falling from an airplane sounds like a pretty fun one.

So if it was some <insert dangerous or painful thing here> compared to the plane, I'd pick the plane.

Sorry this is the 'eat crow' I meant... eat crow - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Oh, I learned something new today. One more good reason to go for the duck.

Would you rather zig or zag?

I'd zig because it comes before zag. Couldn't zag without a zig.

Would you rather be stuck on a deserted island: with a preacher of polar opposite faith than you, or a politician of a polar opposite party than you?

preacher. I prefer religious debate to political debate.

Would you rather be on a deserted island, able to live forever yet be alone or live a poor life, with a limited life span and lots of friends

 

[Vinayaka]

I'd rather have the friends. Living forever would be boring. I talk to myself too much already.

Would you rather be deaf, or blind. (This is really old, I know.)

 

[Penumbra]

Out of all the senses to lose, I'd hate to lose sight the most. So I'd rather be deaf.

The order of importance I place on senses is:
-Sight (hard to function without it. All of my jobs depend on it.)
-Touch (it would be pretty lame not to feel anything, although I might as well try to make the best of it and go into professional kickboxing or something- pain, what pain?)
-Hearing (hard to communicate without it, no music)
-Taste (my sense of taste is weak anyway)
-Smell (my sense of smell is weak anyway)

Would you rather live in a place that rains every day, or in a place that is 100 degrees (F) every day?

Rain for me.

Would you rather be a boy or girl?

 

[Penumbra]

Rain for me.

Would you rather be a boy or girl?

It's hard to say without trying both out several times. Being a girl can be frustrating sometimes, but I think I'd much rather be a girl than a boy (or woman rather than man). I'm biased, though.

Would you rather be locked in a room with a lion, or Chuck Norris?

 

[Vinayaka]

Chuck ... the lion would be scarier.

Would you rather have to watch 10 hours of cricket on TV, or 10 hours of The Lawrence Welk Show?

 

[dawny0826]

Would you rather have to watch 10 hours of cricket on TV, or 10 hours of The Lawrence Welk Show?

Suppose I'd go with the Lawrence Welk Show. This is the first I've heard of him, and the show, according to Wikipedia, seems more entertaining than 10 hours of cricket. I like music and bubbles.

Would you rather ballroom dance or line dance?

ballroom dance

If offered a hot beverage at an acquaintance's house, would you rather have tea or coffee?

Coffee, as long as it's not decaf.

If forced to eat something "different", would you rather try alligator or rattlesnake?

I've already eaten alligator, a long time ago.

I figure snake is probably similar.

If I was out of my element, and needing to eat one of these animals, I'm fine with either I suppose. I guess I'll go with the snake, for variety and such.

Would you rather drink decaf coffee or decaf tea?
