Archer is a little more unconventional. And unconventional is sometimes good. A lifetime supply of cottage cheese or lifetime supply of Frito Lays products? ---

Frito Lays; cheese does bad things to my body. Although…many Frito Lays products have cheese. Have Hillary beat Trump in a 538-0 landslide, or reverse the outcome of the 2000 Bush vs. Gore presidential election? ---

Hillary beats Donald. Spend the next 5 lunches with your colleagues who cannot SHUT UP about the election, or eat by yourself for the next 5 days? ---

Eat by myself, as long as I have my Kindle. Would you rather go back in time and fix that one mistake you regret still today, or have the ability to erase the memory? ---

To have those 2 min back and fix it, live & learn~ ~~Would you rather own a business alone or have a friend as partner? ---

Own it alone. I could always hire the friend and then boss him around (just a little). Know exactly how your ten closest friends vote for President this year, or know who’s going to win the Presidency in 2020? ---

1. I already know how my friends will vote. Have this election cycle continue for another month, or get it over with, regardless of who wins? ---

Another month please. You won’t get entertainment value like this again. You’re at the top floor of the Burj Dubai, when the power goes off. Permanently. Would you rather take the 6987168 stairs down, OR jump with a parachute (instruction manual provided). ---

I’ll walk, thank you very much. Get put on a project with no direction and guidance or working with a boss who has no idea what they’re doing? ---

Since none of the above is not an option, I’ll go with no guidance or direction. Although, both options tend to go hand in hand. A rusted out, noisy, cracked windshield, torn upholstery, air conditioner doesn’t work, no radio - beater car guaranteed to get 250k miles on it before needing any major repairs, or a hot looking Ferrari that breaks down every 30-50k miles? ---

I’m a cheap bastard who goes for utility. The first one, please. Serve in the Clinton administration for $10K a year for Trump for $100K? ---

Hillary in a heartbeat. If I worked for the Trump Administration, I’d be reminded of a remark attributed to John Maynard Keynes when he was an economist for the British government: " I work for a government I despise for ends I think criminal." Pick your superpower: mind control or flight? ---

MIND CONTROL!!! Golly, that would be fun. Have to kill a future version of yourself to avoid some terrible, universe-destroying, time-travel paradox, or eat hot dogs for every meal for the rest of your life? ---

I guess I’ll save the universe. Hot dogs are okay, but not all the time. Communicate with animals or be fluent in every language ever spoken on Earth? ---

Language fluency. If my head didn’t explode, that’d be pretty useful. Pick your next superpower: amazing strength or intellect? ---

November. All that cooking and baking makes the kitchen hot. You’re retired. Do you want to spend your remaining years living on a cruise ship or on a private island (all amenities included.) ---

Private island. I’ve never liked people much, and being forced to spend my life with the same ones would not be good. Live alone in heaven, or be in hell with all the best party animals? ---

Always been something of a loner, so presumably I would be _blissfully alone_ up there playing harp and flapping around clouds. Rather be referred to as the ‘Grand Poobah’ or the ‘Head Mucky Muck’? ---

Grand Poobah would look great on a business card. Gluten-free or dairy-free? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=18) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=20)
