Miserable but thin. Happiness and misery can both be fleeting. Would you rather sleep overnight in an airport, or in a car? ---

Hmmm. An airport is likely to be better temperature, but I can lock a car and keep my stuff and my person safe. So I pick car. That’s why I keep that blanket I bought in Mexico in the trunk. Would you rather be given a one-time lump sum of $1 million in pennies, or a $100 bill every week for the rest of your life? ---

$1 million in pennies. A hundred-dollar bill every week for the rest of my life would probably add up to only about $300,000. A championship for your most-favorite sports team, or four championships to be divvied up among your other four liked sports teams, one apiece? ---

Most-favorite. I don’t have four other liked sports teams. Would you rather become permanently estranged from your best friend or your closest family member? ---

Best friend. I can always find a new one. Would you rather be an ugly genius or beautiful but stupid? ---

Ugly genius, cause that’s almost what I am. Would you rather be in a love filled marriage with a beautiful but stupid person, or a marriage based on friendship with an intelligent, ugly person? ---

Latter. Would you rather take your next vacation to a place you’ve never been before, or back to a place you know? ---

Go somewhere new (specifically, Alaska or the Caribbean.) Learn another language 100% fluently, or two languages with 50% fluency each? ---

Hmm. I guess two languages. 50% fluency isn’t too bad, and two is better than one. A summer in Moscow, or a winter in Madrid? ---

A summer in Moscow. I’ve already been to Madrid. Would you rather be Prince Charles or Camilla Parker Bowles? ---

Camilla without the periods. American sliced white bread, or something unknown on an exotic table? ---

Unknown food scares me some, so icky white bread. Book or Kindle? ---

Book, definitely. Sedan or hatchback? ---

Hatchbck, I can sleep in the back on long trips. Camping in a tent, or a vehicle? ---

Tent. It’s closer to nature, and that’s the point of campin’ IMHO Have an umbrella deploy out of the top of your head at will, or be fluent in Finnish? ---

Finnish. The head-umbrella would look odd. If you had 2 children: Have a son first, then daughter, or have a daughter first, then son? Extra question: Would you rather have 5 sons or 5 daughters? ---

I have a son, then a daughter, works for me. Certainly don’t want ten. Glasses or contacts? ---

Glasses. For 65 years now. Window or aisle seat? ---

Window seat only if we’re flying over something interesting. Otherwise, aisle seat. On a long drive (hundreds of miles or more), would you rather be the driver or a passenger? ---

Passenger. Be required to read a Kim Kardashian tweet before joining any conversation or sing aloud with every song you hear no matter the location?
