Hitler, but only with a guarantee that nobody will take his place. Go back to see the Beatles at the Cavern Club or Buddy Holly, Richtie Valens and Big Bopper at their last performance? ---

Wow, guess I stumped you, huh? Okay, let’s try this. Run a mile or swim a mile? ---

At my age, probably better to run a mile. See _Arrival_ or _Fantastic Beasts_? ---

Both are on my list but I’ll see Fantastic Beasts first. Spend an hour coloring in a coloring book or an hour working on a jigsaw puzzle? ---

Not terribly keen on either, but I guess I’ll go with the coloring book. Mostly wear red clothes or blue clothes? ---

Blue. That means I can wear my jeans. Wrapping presents or sticking them in gift bags? ---

2 seconds vs. 2 minutes? I say gift bags. have your bedroom perpetually smell like wet paint or new tires? ---

New tires. Wet paint would make me woozy after awhile. Have your significant other smell for a month of gasoline or vanilla? I love 'em both. ---

Vanilla. I’d be constantly worried about open flames otherwise. Never again be able to smell gasoline or vanilla? ---

Um, never smell gasoline? Eat a warm cookie, or be poked in both eyes with a red hot poker… ---

Cookie Spend a day with Cookie Monster or with Kermit an Miss Piggy? ---

Miss Piggy, though abrasive at times, possesses something beyond the rudimentary communications skills demonstrated by the blue furry one. The pig wins. spend eternity flying around clouds (or a city of gold if that suits you better) wearing a robe and playing a harp, or spend eternity being serviced by houris? ---

serviced by Houris of course Would you rather live in the wilderness of Alaska or the beaches of Hawaii? ---

I’ve been in both places, and have little hesitation in picking Hawaii. Stay home or go to a Christmas Eve church service? ---

Christmas Eve church service, every time. Spend 3 hours in a pointless board meeting, or attempt to explain why “fake news” is a problem to a Deplorable? ---

It’s a waste of 3 hours either way, I’d just as soon NOT spend it with the Deplorable. Spend all afternoon making cookies with a 6-year-old, or reading a book? ---

Depends on the six-year-old, but not knowing more than what you wrote, gimme a book. Hop in a time machine to visit a particular grandmother, or grandfather, of yours for a day in their youth? ---

I’ll go with visiting grandma for a day in her youth (as opposed to grandpa - I dunno the choice thing seemed a little nebulous here) Would you rather: eat, drink, or be merry? (that’s three choices, I know, but you’re an adaptable lot) ---

Be merry. Don’t need food or drink for that (although it never hurts). Have a distractingly sexy dentist or eye doctor? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=26) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=28)
