A loner at heart. Especially where nature is concerned. Have to wear a monocle every waking moment and use an affected posh English accent or experience audible flatulence every 45 minutes the rest of your life? ---

I guess I’d go with the monocle. Better to be annoying than disgusting. Lose your smartphone or your wallet/purse/whatever holds your cash, credit cards and ID? ---

Don’t have a smartphone, so I could easily get over my loss of one. $1000 cash placed in your hand right now, or $1500 credited to your bank account a year from today? ---

$1500 in a year. You can’t beat a 50% annual ROI. You’ve just escaped from a North Korean interrogation centre. One last (unarmed) guard stands between you and freedom, and you’ve acquired a melee weapon of your choice. Would you rather fight Wladimir Klitschko OR a grizzly bear? ---

Oh, jeez. I had to Google him. I think my chances are better with the grizzly bear. I may have a chance to scare it off. Have to travel everywhere on a motorcycle (yes, you wear a helmet) or chauffered in a limousine? ---

Limousine, definitely. Live where it’s always windy or always 105 degrees out? ---

Windy. I can always bundle up; there’s a limit as to how much you can take off and still be presentable. And I hate sustained hot weather. It’s an alternate universe, and you love the new President, who offers you your choice of serving as Secretary of State or of Defense. Which’ll it be? ---

Secretary of State. I’d rather negotiate peace than plan for war. Communicate exclusively through email or through Facebook? ---

e-mail. What’s this Facebook thing the kids are always talking about, anywho? Renounce all worldly possessions and attain enlightenment, or Get a wall-sized HD TV with quadrophonic speakers? ---

Get the TV. I’ll get enlightenment some other way. Evening alone with a good book and the furbabies of your choice or a night out on the town with your friends, no monetary limit? ---

If it’s not a school night, let’s go crazy with my friends! Star on Broadway with Hugh Jackman in _A Steady Rain_, or on Broadway with the full cast of the original _Rent_ and you have to sing. ---

Singing in Rent for sure! You are venturing into a rough part of town, do you take Mace or a small handgun? ---

Handgun. Early morning workout or after work workout? ---

Early morning. You have an hour-long commute. Would you rather do it alone, or be able to ride with your SO? ---

With SO. We generally travel well together. Go skinny dipping with Arnold Schwarzenegger or Melissa McCarthy? ---

…Trump… Which dystopic America would you rather live in? 1. An “Idiocracy” society; 2. A Walking-Dead zombie survivor land; 3. A genuinely Nazi Germany-ish regime version of America? ---

An Idiocracy. There’s a chance they’ll do a few things right. Would you rather be a master of an instrument you hate, or a crappy player of an instrument you love? ---

Crappy player of an instrument I love. Star in a Broadway musical you hate, or a regional theatre version of a musical you love? ---

Regional version; you just can’t do something well if you hate it. Be asexual and paired with a partner who has very high sex drive/demand; or be the person with a very high sex drive, but your asexual partner has zero interest or desire for it whatsoever? (You cannot cheat by having sex elsewhere.)
