[Doesn’t Venus have a thick atmosphere that makes it hard to look around? I’d rather SEE things if I were to travel that far, so I pick Mars.] Steak dinner. More opportunity to talk and be all romantic. Lilies or hydrangeas? ---

Lilies have a distinctive appearance. They make a statement. have the nickname “Hemo” or “Wheeze”? ---

I choose to get stabbed with a needle instead of performing a natural body function. Be forced to eat an entire chocolate brownie topped with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, whipped cream and sprinkles or get to tell your SO you’ve contracted VD from some as yet to be determined individual? ---

I’ll eat the brownie, though I’ll follow it with an injection of insulin. Your favorite pet dies… or Putin? ---

Behind the camera. Always behind the camera. Ride a gondola in Venice or a cable car in the Swiss Alps? ---

A gondola. If something goes wrong, I can swim. I don’t want to die from falling out of a cable car in the Swiss Alps. Be able to eat only supermarket junk food or only fast food? ---

Fast food, I think. And step up my exercise regimen. Be compelled to loudly praise Trump for half an hour every day, or have a bad migraine for the same time? ---

Charcoal. Barbecue ribs. Beef or pork? (Keep in mind there’s only one right answer.) 😃 ---

I like both, but I’ll go with pork. Sooooie! Hear the oink of a pig or the quacking of a duck to wake you in the morning? ---

I’ll take the oinking of a pig… as long as it’s not in bed with me. Painful to swallow or painful to have sex? ---

I love eating, but don’t have sex. A billionaire dollars to give up sex and never have Trump be President , or being the best legal sexual prostitute on the planet and have Trump be immortal and President forever. ---

Watching a movie takes less time than the book, and if it really is great, that’s a couple hours well-spent. Spend 30 minutes a day for 10 days reading a great book, or spend 2 hours watching a mediocre film version of that book? ---
