The best "Would you rather...?"

In My Humble Opinion (IMHO)
#1

I wanted to see what you all could come up with to top these:

Would you rather wake up hung over on Monday morning knowing you must go to a high-profile meeting at work and discover: that someone has shaved all the hair off of your entire body? or used permanent marker to graffiti your entire body?

Would you ratherhave science empirically confirm the existenct of God? or find the cure for cancer?

As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?

Would you rather jump into a pool of glass shards? or enthusiastically jump off the springboard into the deep end of an empty 15-foot pool?

Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?

[sup]Feel free to answer these as well![/sup]

I was once asked “would you rather be raped by a horse have to drink the spooje OR kill your parents?”

My obvious answer: “My parents would understand.”

Shaved off all of my hair. I can cover the bald spots with clothes and a hat.

Would you ratherhave science empirically confirm the existenct of God? or find the cure for cancer?

Since I’m an Atheist, I don’t see the former even a possibility. Besides, anyone who wouldn’t choose a cure for cancer is selfish.

As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?

Name. Though it’s a bad name.

Would you rather jump into a pool of glass shards? or enthusiastically jump off the springboard into the deep end of an empty 15-foot pool?

Glass shards, some people get off to that (not me, just noting!)

Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?

Assuming the extraterrestrial were intelligene, the extraterrestrial all the way.

Wow, I’m tired. Please excuse the copious spelling errors in my previous post. I swear, that’s the first this this has ever happened! :wink:

  1. Hair
  2. God, and I disagree with skaterboarder87 that “anyone who wouldn’t choose a cure for cancer is selfish” Since everyone dies, it would be far, far more comforting to know that your dearly departed is in heaven. I am not a religious man, but believe that if there is a God, He is more good than not, so heaven is a distinct possibility.

Hair.

Would you ratherhave science empirically confirm the existenct of God? or find the cure for cancer?

Cancer, definitely.

As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?

My paternal grandmother actually had a somewhat masculine haircut. Can I keep my coloring, though?

Would you rather jump into a pool of glass shards? or enthusiastically jump off the springboard into the deep end of an empty 15-foot pool?

The glass doesn’t sound that painful in theory.

Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?

The ET.
I’ll try to think of a few after I get some sleep. Maybe.

I don’t want to turn this into a debate, but the OP never mentioned the biblical God, instead alluding to merely the existence of a god. This would not confirm heaven, thus I stand by my original assertion.

  1. Shaved. Personally, I think I’d look hot if I were hairless. Hey, that gives me an idea . . . !

  2. Easy! A cure for cancer! Believe or disbelief in God is and always will be a matter of faith–so even if one could prove or disprove God’s existence, 99% of the world wouldn’t give a rip. On the other hand, no one (except maybe the Christian Scientists :slight_smile: ) would question the benefits of a cancer cure.

  3. I couldn’t live with either of my grandmothers’ haircuts. I could, if I had to, live with the name of my maternal grandmother, “Evelyn,” which even today is in use as a man’s name in England. However, I would have to adopt a crusty manner and a British accent to make it work.

  4. I’ll take my chances with the glass shards. (What a horrible question! Shame on you.)

  5. I’d rather meet an angel–and I say this with full knowledge that angels are probably farscarier than ETs. (After all, what’s the first thing that angels say when they appear to mortals? “Fear not!”)

#11

Would you rather lick the scrotum of a man with HUGE genital warts… or have unprotected sex with a 104 year old hairy indian woman with lice?

#12
  1. No hair.
  2. Cure Cancer. I believe in God already.
  3. Name. That can easily be legally changed.
  4. Empty pool. I might only end up with broken bones, which will heal. With glass, I could take out an eye or puncture an organ.
  5. An angel. Far nicer to have their existence confirmed in than aliens. Besides, they can tell me if there are E.T.s, while the E.T.s may not know any more about angels than we do.

Would you rather die a slow, wasting death that you know you have or a quick, unforseen, violent one?

#13

I still like the examples from, as I recall, a skit on MTV’s The State years ago. They were:

Would you rather lick a cow’s ass, or make out with your dad? (women, substitute your mom.)

Would you rather eat a booger sandwich, or crap in public?

#14

skaterboarder87-you are correct. Damn my Judeo-Christian background! :wink:

Hair, I can wear a wig and clothes.

Cancer, I already believe in God, I don’t need scientific proof.

As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?
I’m a woman

Would you rather jump into a pool of glass shards? or enthusiastically jump off the springboard into the deep end of an empty 15-foot pool?
Empty pool. I HATE glass slivers.

Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?
An angel. That way I can ask about God. In which case I have proof of God and I’ve cured cancer ! Yay me. :slight_smile:

#16

permenant marker

  • that would be fun :slight_smile:

proof of god

  • Please, so many more people die of starvation, aids, genocide than die of cancer. For me, choosing “cure cancer” is the selfish choice there. If it was “alliviate all worldly suffering” I would probably still choose proof of god of the two. If it were a sack of rice for everyone or “cure cancer” I would most likely still choose the former.

Hair or Name -
Either, I’m a girlie.

empty pool -
Broken bones beats sliced and dices, you never said head first.

ET -
If there are angels I will (touch wood) meet them when the time comes, my extraterrestrials I want right now!

So why save a few lives if you can’t save 'em all, eh? Now that’s sound logic :rolleyes:

#18
  1. I choose to loose all my hair. I already have very short hair(I am in ROTC) and being bald wouldn’t be a big change. Although my eybrows would look funny.
  2. Cure for Cancer, I already believe in God, and a real scientific proof wouldn’t change that many people’s minds about the God anyways.
  3. My maternal Grandmother’s Haircut, as it is pretty short and somewhat masculine looking. Her name is both long and fememine.
  4. I will go with the empty pool. Worst case I get a broken leg or ankle if that. I have already jumped off 12 ft high rooftops, with nothing but sore ankles.
  5. I will talk with the angel, which would of course answer the God question too, as well as clear up a couple finer points about my religious beliefs, and the angel could tell me about ET activity around the solar system, if it is occuring. Besides, the ET would probably try to probe me.

Would you rather make love to a sheep in a tank of centipedes, or make love to a dog in a tank of spiders?

Wake up with a 3rd nostril (on top of the nose, facing out) or wake up with buck teeth that were so bad, they were nearly horizontal?

Find out about Shakespeare, or about Homer?

Kill Hitler, or kill Stalin?

And, on a lighter note, have a day with lots of sunshine, or have a day with lots of smiles?

#20

Would you rather:
-Have to deal with a highly overactive bladder, i.e. you have to go every 10 min…

or

-Not know when the time has come to go…
