Normally, I’d say Tokyo, but Moscow in June is the soccer football World Cup. However, I’m still going to say Tokyo.

Would you rather walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, or have someone else walk a mile in your shoes?

Metaphorically speaking, the first. Physically, the second.

WYR ski cross-country or downhill?

Cross country, definitely. I am so scared of falling.

Live in constant springtime or constant autumn?

</div>

Constant springtime, because of more sun in the sky and less leaves to get rid of.

See science create cloned dinosaurs or see humans land on Mars.

Definitely cloned dinosaurs. That would be a fundamental advance that could be applied to other species, and a trip to Mars is just a matter of will and funding.

Appear on a reality TV show, or a sitcom?

A sitcom, I can’t really act but maybe I could be a background character.

Ankle. I can hobble around if necessary, but I don’t know what I’d do without my right hand!

If you wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night would you rather find a rat swimming in the toilet bowl or a snake swimming around in there?

</div>

Yikes, neither! But if it had to be one… I guess the snake. Wouldn’t carry fleas or lice, and less likely to be able to hide if it could get out of the toiler bowl.

WYR meet Jesus, Buddha or Muhammad?

Ooh, good on. I’ll meet Jesus. A lot of mystery about the guy.

I’m no cook, so I’ll go with the restaurant.

LOL, kosher-for-Passover jelly beans are too funny to pass up. I would photograph them and put that photo in my scrapbook!

Either would be fine, but at the moment, I’ll go with… tortillas.

Lick a cat. Unless these are euphemisms, in which case… I’ll still go with licking a cat.

Jeez, dude could buy me dinner first? But, spank the monkey, I guess. I wouldn’t want to kill a chicken.

I’ll go with feeding sharks if the food can be the bait I put on a 12/0 hook at the beach.

Yard work. I can end that activity sooner at my own initiative.

I’m a vegetarian who hates fish, but I have swallowed raw eggs and could easily do that six times.

I guess the diarrhea. It will eventually end whereas dry heaves may continue. Plus, underwear can catch an accident.

Would you rather attend a two hour poetry reading or four hours of congress in session?
