They both sound disgusting and dangerous, but fugu slightly less so. Lemme get my chopsticks. 1800: Adams or Jefferson? ---

Jefferson. The Capulets or the Montagues? ---

The Montagues. I would love to hang out with Mercutio, one of Shakespeare’s best characters. Hanging out with Shakespeare or with Jesus? ---

Shakespeare. You can go back in time to observe and cannot change anything. Do you want to see a chariot race in the Colusseum in Ancient Rome or the building of the Great Wall of China? ---

A chariot race would be more exciting. Watching construction workers build a wall would be like watching paint dry. You are accused of a murder you did not commit, but all the circumstantial evidence points to you. Things aren’t looking good for you. Do you plead guilty in exchange for 5 years in prison, or go to trial and take your chances with 25-to-life? ---

Go to trial and roll them dice, baby. I could be a very convincing witness. 1824: John Quincy Adams or Andrew Jackson? ---

No contest, JQA. Have a smile permanently frozen on your face the rest of your life, or have to start every sentence with a cheerful-sounding ‘okie dokey’ the rest of your life? ---

I guess sounding dumb is better than looking dumb - at least you can explain why. 1860: Lincoln or Douglas? ---

Lincoln would you rather live without a comb/brush or a toothbrush ---

Comb/brush. I can always run my fingers through my hair if I have to - clean teeth are a must. 1864: Lincoln or McClellan? ---

Lincoln (I’m for freeing the slaves) Aircraft Pilot or Race Car Driver? ---

Aircraft pilot. Far less risk of a fatal collision! Would you rather be a man without a penis, or a woman without a vagina? For the sake of the hypothetical, assume that all you have “down there” is Ken-doll-esque. Like Alan Rickman in Dogma. ---

A woman without a vagina. At least I’d still be able to pee. Would you rather be married to a woman with a penis or a man with a vagina? ---

One is quite enough. I can’t even imagine what it’d be like trying to pacify/quell two or more. bowl of hot oatmeal or cream of wheat? ---

Puncture or slice myself? I guess punctures might heal quicker if they’re not too deep. Serve two years as an infantryman in the trenches of WWI or two years as an infantryman in the American Civil War? ---

Two years as an infantryman in the Civil War. Just seems safer. Would you rather watch your parents have sex once a day, every day, for the rest of your life…or…join in on the action just ONCE in order to stop having to watch every day? ---
