would you rather?

this is a little game.

i'll start by asking a "would you rather" question. you must choose one of the answers. then you must ask one of your own.

here goes:

would you rather:

step on a nail ( having it come out the top )

or

have your thumbnails pulled out with pliers?

Step on a nail! Anybody has seen the film with Kevin Bacon (Hypnosis or something like that)? You see a fingernail breaking completly away. That was horrible!

I lost a big toenail once. I was moving a heavy leather and steel footrest, and its foot caught my toenail and ripped it 3/4 of the way off. It was the middle of the night, so I put ice on it and went to bed. I went to the doctor in the morning, but all they did was bandage it and tell me to wait for it to come back.

you guys are not playing the game right!

whatever......

you wanna talk toenails?

i was listening to some radio show where the dj's had people calling in with horror stories from their youth:

this guy calls and says, he was in "trouble" with his mom, but it was a half joking thing and she was chasing him around the house. She chased him upstairs, and he ran into his room and closed the door. before he could lock it, his mom burst in the door. he had been standing just inside the door, and when the door flew open, the bottom edge caught and removed all of his toenails. when i heard that, my nuts retreated into my body cavity.

Let's see if everyone can get the rules wrong in this game. I'm going another route: Of thumbnails or ten-penny nails, I don't know which one I'd rather, but how about these choices:

A) Tons of money for the rest of your life, but with serious illnesses at least once a decade

or

B) Healthy till you keel over dead, but dirt poor the whole time

B) healthy and poor.

Would you rather marry
a) a rich shallow celebrity

or

b) a poor, smelly, fat, lazy, mean, foul-mouthed person?

I am trying to think of another "would you rather" but my brain no worky right now.

When I was younger I lost both my big toenails within a week of each other. The first one I lost when I fell into a ditch. It was at night and I didn't fall real hard but about 15 min. later it was still throbbing so I figured I better see how bad it was. Went into the bathroom and took off my shoe to find a very blood soaked sock and a nail that was no longer attached to the toe.
A week later a cousin dropped a 25# lamp base on the other foot. The big toenail turned a nice shade of black and fell off the next day.
The worst part was, my best friend kept stepping on my toes for like 3 weeks after that.

So LJ I am still thinking of another would you rather and will post as soon as I have something good.

Nobody understands the rules! Nobody pays attention!

I would rather cut my own arm off, but since I can't conceive of any situation where I'd have the balls to do it, so I'd have to go with the boiling oil.

Would you rather

A: Die before your spouse or significant other.

or

B: Outlive your spouse or significant other.

I would rather my spouse die before me. I am very strong emotionally and tend to attract people who go crazy when i leave them. so its probably best that i go last.

would you rather:

a) Have a great job you love doing, but earn little money

or

b) hate your job, but be making great money

Hrm..I'd have to say a). (Is there room for a promotion?)

Would you rather:

Die an instant death

or

Die a slow, but not necessarily painful death?

rather:

argue constitutional study with radar

or

argue logic/emotion with tw?

arguing constitution with radar wins by the slightest of margins.



Would you rather (if you are male):

have an eleven inch penis but also c-cup man-boobs

or

a half inch penis but also a *very* agile tongue


If you are a woman, would you rather:

fart a large green cloud of odorless smoke when you orgasm

or

have three breasts, one being on the center of your back

Large green cloud. Ain't nobody seein' it but someone who's seen worse already. I mean, come on, it's odorless! No contest.

Would you rather

A.) fully care for an elderly invalid

or

B.) fully care for a young mentally disabled person
