Here’s another pointless waste of time 🙂
**Rules:**
1. Someone picks two things that players must choose between as scarier.
2. You must pick one thing without qualifying it (for example if the pair was Doves or Pigeons saying " Doves, if they…" is not acceptable. No “if” in your choice) though you may explain why (“Doves because they’re too mime-like.” is fine)
3. This is a free for all. Suggest as many and answer as many as you wish, no one needs to wait for a turn. Just note which one you’re answering.
