Unlimited power to heal minor illnesses. Would you rather watch the sporting event of your choice in a skybox or on the fifty yard line (or midcourt, or whatever suits the halfway floor point of your sport of choice.) ---

Fifty chihuahuas. Who could hurt a baby elephant? WYR have a big piece of chocolate cake or a bacon cheeseburger right now? ---

Chocolate cake. Would you rather be given $1000 if it meant a rich person also got $1000, or would you rather get $250 if it meant the rich person lost $100? ---

The castle made out of chocolate. This works on many levels: I love historical places. I am hopelessly addicted to chocolate. Also, to get practical here, either one will get ruined by the weather soon enough, so I’d have to do something useful with my food-home other than eat it. And I’d turn a much larger profit selling the chocolate. Pancakes would go stale much more quickly than I could package and distribute them. ---

True. For some reason, I’m just in a pancake mood right now, so I’d go with the cottage. We can haz new conundrum? 🙂 ---

Would you rather forget to follow the rules of your own thread, or slip on your front steps in front of the mailperson? ---

[QUOTE=bubble pop electric] Would you rather forget to follow the rules of your own thread, or slip on your front steps in front of the mailperson? [/QUOTE] Slip on my steps in front of the mail person. Less embarrassing, and at least he/she’ll get some enjoyment out of it (assuming I’m not hurt). Would you rather have 4 more years of George W. Bush or win a million dollars? OK, that one was a joke. Would you rather hear the thoughts of the people in a five-foot radius of you for the rest of your life, or be able to see your whole life, your whole future, including when and how you die, right now (and not be able to change it)? ---

Hear the thoughts of people in a five foot radius. Would you rather have a necklace made of bones or a whalebone corset? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/435886.md?page=3)
