2 hours of poetry. If it’s too boring I could sleep. Would you rather walk 5 miles or ride with evangelist preacher for 2 hours? ---

Walking 5 miles would take me less than 2 hours and if I can go through the woods or around the lake would be much more pleasant than the preacher. Would you rather read (in the Voters Guide) the bigoted, racist, screeds of 40 whack-a-doodles running for California Governor or get 40 paper cuts? ---

The whack-a-doodles if I could get stoned first. Would you rather go on national TV defending Trump’s decisions or get 4 cavities filled sans Novocain? ---

I’ll go on TV but the entire time hold up a sign reading, _These are all lies. Pay no attention to what I’m saying._ Rather see a good movie or a good stage play? ---

Movie, reason:snacks. Would you rather clean a dog poop accident or get the clumps out of the cat litter? ---

Cat litter’s usually easier. I’ll do that. Clean the bathroom or do a load of laundry? ---

Laundry, the machine’s doing most of the work for me. See your favorite sports team win a championship next year, or have them have won five additional championships before you were born, which you wouldn’t ever get to have seen? ---

Next year. I’m selfish that way. Go back in time and meet Babe Ruth or Jim Thorpe? ---

Thorpe. Be in a marriage where you love your spouse but they don’t love you, or one in which your spouse loves you but you don’t love them? (Assuming divorce is not an option) ---

Ugh. I guess the second, since that would be easier to bear than the first. Hot dog or hamburger? ---

Hamburger Edge the driveway or let it stay “good enough?” ---

Good enough is good enough. Watch news or PBS childrens programing? ---

News. I cannot tell you how much _dinosaurs_ on a _train_ bother me. Splurge and eat 2000 calories of shrimp pasta or eat yet another 180 calorie pile of flavorless mulch. (Need answer fast.) ---

The shrimp pasta, of course. How about WYR watch Fox news or no TV at all? ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > How about WYR watch Fox news or no TV at all? No TV at all, of course. Because that’s how I’m living already. Would you rather read a dull book, or stand in the rain? ---

Dull book, in small doses, at bedtime, just until it put me to sleep. Last night I read an exciting book, and it kept me up until 2am! I’m running on fumes today! Be the Driver or the Passenger? ---

I guess Lyft. Haven’t heard about any homicidal Lyft drivers. Yet. WYR stub your toe once every day for the next month or experience a charlie horse for the next 36 hours straight? ---
