The housebroken dog who exits quickly. You don’t have to make them, they just appear in your fridge ready to have when you get home from work every night. Would you rather have a summer of endless margaritas or endless chips and salsa? (This and all my following hypotheticals come from a Survey Monkey survey I took for Charity. I have no idea what the purpose of the survey was. They were fun questions, so I am sharing them with you all.) ---

Chips and salsa. I don’t like margaritas THAT much. Churchill or Attlee? ---

Hmm, I don’t know much about history, so I’ll pick Churchill, based on brand-name recognition alone. You’re at a carnival and can only order one type of food. Would you choose savory (like a corn dog) or sweet (like a deep-fried oreo)? ---

Sweet I’m a vegetarian, and very few sweets have meats. Living eating only one food of your choosing each and every day for the rest of your life, but with unlimited computer, phone, texting, yada, yada, yada, OR eating whatever you want but be limited to one hour of computer, pone, texting, yada, yada, yada a day. ---

Easy choice - eat what you want while limiting screen/phone time Receive warning that a nuclear weapon will strike nearby (within a two mile radius) in 120 seconds or have no notice at all? ---

Warning please. Who would you rather have leading the USA: President Trump? Vise President Pence? Speaker Paul Ryan? Sen. Orrin Hatch? or Secretary Tillerson? ---

Let’s see. Eenie, meenie, mynie, moe…: Looks like Paul Ryan. Would you rather have a perfect weather, bug-free, blissful camping experience or stay in a 5-star luxury resort? ---

Absolutely the former. Huge cruise ship with all of the bells and whistles, or a small schooner (small crew & guest list), luscious meals, but most of the time only the sky, ocean, and wind in the rigging to entertain you? ---

Small schooner please! Win $500,000 in the lottery and get to remain anonymous, or win $20 million in the lottery, but be widely recognized everywhere? ---

Wow, that’s a toughie. Option B would be a truly life changing amount of money, but comes at an awful price…I guess I’ll go with anonymous but comfortably provided for. Have the interior of your home perpetually smell like new tires or perpetually smell like popcorn? ---

Just returned from purchasing new tires & have a headache(heavy oil smell too) haha~popcorn please With either choice you will make an unholy amount of money~do you choose…1 full month out to sea on a fishing barge in the Gulf of Alaska or 1 full month on an Oil Rig in Kenya Africa? ---

Fishing in the Gulf of Alaska. The view is probably pretty good, and I’m guessing there is faster/easier access to quality medical care should something go wrong. (?) Would you rather your partner/spouse be able to whip up the perfect summer cocktail, or master BBQ ribs on the grill? ---

I protect my status as household grill-master most jealously so she can feel free to whip up a perfect summer cocktail. Listen to Pachelbel’s Canon or Puff the Magic Dragon? ---

I’ll listen to Pachelbel’s Canon, an authentic Baroque version, not the soupy, sappy, weeping wedding version. Your boss just granted you an extra, mandatory week of vacation. You already have a family vacation planned. Would you rather add an extra week to the family trip or go on a separate girl’s/boy’s getaway? ---

Separate getaway with my high school pals after the family trip - the best of both worlds! Write a bestselling book or song? ---

Definitely book. I always wanted to be a published author. Be falsely labelled a drug addict or a murderer? ---

Drug addict. Not a crime, in and of itself, and relatively easily disproven. Be a top-notch doctor or lawyer? ---

Lawyer. Doctors have to deal with gookey stuff and people already dislike me. There’s a new rollercoaster twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty: Would you rather ride it once, eyes open and no hands, or ride the kiddie coaster 10 times in a row? ---

Kiddie coaster, without hesitation. _Not_ a fan of big scary rollercoasters. Own a successful amusement park or concert hall? ---

Concert hall. I’m cultured. Be a famous opera singer or grunge rock singer? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=46) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=48)
