My wife and I sometimes play a game in which we ask each other outrageous hypothetical questions. In it, we assume that some mysterious force out there compels us to act in either one of two ways. The choices are usually fairly gross.
For example: Would you rather slide down a 100 foot razor blade, or drink a Drano Margarita?
Last night, my wife (Mrs. Moe)came up with a fairly thought-provoking question: Would you rather have to wear a shirt that said in bold letters JUST SAY NO TO PREMARITAL SEX! every day for the rest of your life, or would you rather have an eye gouged out and have to wear a black eyepatch for the rest of your life.
You couldn’t cover up the shirt, and you are allowed to give whatever explanation you want at job interviews, your wedding, whatever. Everyday, you will be handed a clean shirt with the above slogan on it.
If you choose the eye-gouging option, you would lose all sight in that eye permanently, but you can have it done while you are put under anesthesia.
The only rules for the game are, of course, to outdo the previous question, and not to try to cheat fate when answering the previous question. For example, regarding the above question, it’s cheating to reply that you would fake your own death, and where a different shirt.
Anyway, I thought other Dopers might think it’s fun. Have at it. Questions asked can really run the hypothetical gamut. For example, you could ask “Would you rather live in a world where you know with certainty that God doesn’t exist, or that He exists, is kind and benevolent, but inexplicably hates your guts.”
P.S. We actually knew a girl when we were in College who wore a shirt that said that. She had the sort of horrid personality that ensured that no one would like to have sex with her anyway.
