Cubs of course. Prefer go back in time to Boston to see a Bruins hockey game with Bobby Orr playing or a Celtics basketball game with Larry Bird playing? ---

Larry Legend Walk a mile in blistering heat wearing a ski jacket or in freezing cold in shorts and a t-shirt? ---

That’s easy, jet (assuming it’s a fighter.) Hit a championship-winning three-pointer at the buzzer or walk-off home run? ---

Three pointer at the buzzer. Emotions tend to run just a tad higher at basketball games near the end. Have Abraham Lincoln over for the weekend as a houseguest or Albert Einstein? ---

Lincoln. I’m a big fan and would have fun showing him around a modern U.S. city, and would probably ask him about a gazillion questions. Have an important scientific theory or a popular dish named after you? ---

Popular dish. Listen to a co-worker clear his throat all day long or seeing him clip his toenails at his desk once a week? ---

Depends on who I’m killing. I’d rather be killed than kill an innocent person. Go bald (assuming you’re not already) or have hair start growing on your palms? ---

Jeopardy. Knowledge beats luck. Milk as your only drink for the rest of your life or Cheetos dust as your only spice/seasoning? ---

Cheetos dust. The milk would leave me dehydrated. Two weeks without food, but have plenty of water, or two days with plenty of food, but no water? ---

I’ll take Ron Jeremy for 1000 Have to spend the rest of your existence trapped inside Disneyworld with free room and board (you have a 400 sq ft. efficiency apartment above Space Mountain and have to eat all meals at the restaurants/vendors in the park), or spend your adult life free to go where you will but the only employment option ever available to you is working in a coal mine equipped with technology & safety equipment circa 1910? ---

A coal mine may be a small world after all, but I’ll take Disney. Eat only what you can grow yourself or eat whatever you want as long as you kill your own meat (at least one animal per week, no vegetarian exemptions)? ---

Option B. I don’t have much of a green thumb, and suppose I can get used to chopping the head off a chicken once a week if I must (you didn’t say I had to defeather or cook it). Have the chance to name an ocean liner or NASA’s next manned spacecraft?
