Three family house, thank you. The less the merrier. The show ‘Firefly’ would have run for 7 more seasons or ‘The Waltons’ would have run for 7 less seasons ---

Yes, please. Oh, I have to pick one? _Firefly_, then. Visit Moscow or Beijing? ---

Monte Carlo. Oh, I have to pick one of those two? Moscow, then (breathing, I suppose would be easier) Listen to Car Talk or watch This Old House? ---

Car Talk. It’s more “live” and the lines aren’t scripted. Would you rather Have your body found in a pile of sex toys? or Have everyone you know see your browsing history? ---

Definitely my browsing history, though it might put them to sleep. Go without sleep or without bathing or showering for a month? ---

Emotional, but yikes, what a choice… Visit NYC or LA? ---

LA feels a bit more ‘foreign’ than NYC to someone from the heartlands, in terms of both its’ climate and culture, so for that reason I’ll go with LA. Be 4’1" or 7’9"? ---

A 7’9" person could eat a lot more than a 4’1" person and stay ultra-thin. Be really beautiful but have only one non-dominant hand, or have two good hands but be ugly. ---

I’m not sure I understand the question. I currently have only one non-dominant hand. (My second hand is dominant.) I think you might be asking if I would give my right hand to be beautiful, and the answer is no. i will keep both hands and stay ugly. My friend’s office has been discussing this hypothetical: you have a 45-minute subway/train commute to work. Would you rather stand in a crammed crowd the whole way, or sit comfortably the whole way next to a person who reeks of eau de homeless? ---

Stand, because the bad odor might get onto my person and then I might have that odor when I get into the office. Do an activity that involves a) A 15% chance of death (but no chance of injury, and 85% chance you will be totally unscathed/unharmed), or b) A 25% chance of serious injury (but no chance of death, and 75% chance you will be totally unscathed/unharmed), ---

b) I think I’d rather live with a disability. Would you rather make a living violating the privacy of famous individuals Or Would you rather lie to honest people to get them to vote for your friend? ---

Violating the privacy of the famous. If you don’t want your privacy violated, why be famous? Have a circle of friends you adore but live alone, or have a wonderful partner but no friends. ---

Circle of friends. Can’t see limiting all of my social interactions to a single person no matter how wonderful they may be. Have the ability to control the weather within a 100 meter radius or unlimited free and instant access to any common office supply item you care to name? ---

Oooh, definitely the weather. Does the 100 meter radius follow me as I move along? I don’t use many office supplies and I don’t have any difficulty accessing those I do need. Have the ability to control the traffic within a 100 meter radius or unlimited free and instant access to any food item you care to name? ---

I consider traffic one of the biggest irritants in life, so I’ll take the 100 meters free of other vehicles thank you. Spend a weekend with the folk singer of your choice or classical composer? ---

Folk singer named Dylan. I’m a sucker for a Nobel Prize winner. Go to NYC to see the Macy’s Day Parade of spend New Year’s Eve in Times Square? ---

If I’m rich, by ship. If I’m not, by plane. Badly need to pee, but be in the spotlight and have nowhere to pee, or be very thirsty, but have no water to drink? ---

Badly needing to pee can become painful and might cause an embarrassing accident; I can deal with thirst for awhile. Chocolate malt or strawberry shortcake?
