Snorkel!!! But only if it’s in the ocean. America never having a woman president, or having one but it being a woman you dislike? ---

Well, “never” is a long time, but if you mean during my lifetime, yeah, I’ll go with that. A bad President can do a lot of harm. (I love the smell of gasoline too, **Bayaker**!) Live as a pampered guest for three days in the White House or Buckingham Palace? ---

Oh, the Palace, by far. WYR cry on camera or laugh and snort on camera? ---

Don’t care - I’ll say laugh and snort, since that’s funnier. WYR go to the mountains or the beach? ---

I went to the ocean last year for vacation, so I’ll pick mountains for this year. Would you rather eat nothing but cake/candy/ice cream/pie/sweets for the rest of your life BUT be thin and very healthy until you die getting hit by a bus at the exact same moment that you would otherwise die or have things the way they are now. ---

The way they are now. I need salty food. I assume you mean I won’t get to eat anything OTHER than the sweets. Be exactly who you are right now, or be born with a different height or race or sex or sexual orientation or nationality or hair color? (you can pick any of the list or any combination) ---

I wish I was shorter. Tallest in my family at 6ft. Spent my life reaching stuff and bumping my head. Jeans too short. It’s a curse, I tell ya… WYR chit chat with a stranger in line or be ignored? ---

Depends on the stranger. If I have to choose an answer, I say yes. Someone offers you $2 million right now, but the condition is that you have to leave America at the end of this year and never return again in your life. Yes or no? ---

Naw, too much work, not enough money, and I kinda like going to Big Game every year. Kit Kats or Twix? ---

Kit-kat. I prefer a Hershey bar, but any port in a storm. New puppy or new kitten? ---

Not even close. Puppy! Blind or Paralyzed? Let’s say chest down. ---

Tough by I go with paralyzed, at least it means I still get to keep my arms moving. 1. A religious theocracy; 2. A society that says evil is good and good is evil, or 3. A society that says “anything goes; no such thing as right or wrong?” ---

I’ll go with a religious theocracy. At least there will be a set of rules. Frontal lobotomy or Alzheimer’s? ---

Alzheimer’s I guess. At least there’s a good chance I’d make it into my 70’s before being affected. An all expenses paid four week long trip to Chad or a 10% off coupon for a one night stay in a Motel 6 in Vegas? ---

From Wiki: “Chad remains plagued by political violence and recurrent attempted coups d’état. Chad is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world; most inhabitants live in poverty as subsistence herders and farmers.” I’ll take the Motel 6 coupon… and not use it. WYR have sore feet or a headache? ---

Since headache for me usually means migraine, I’ll happily opt for inconvenient over debilitating. WYR be fluent in Klingon or [Kinyarwanda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinyarwanda)? ---

Among my friends, Klingon would be cooler, so I’ll go with that. WYR listen to country music or Christian rock all one day while you work? ---

Country music because at least some of the songs are good. Have to find a new job or a new place to live? ---

Ugh. I guess a new place to live, because my skills are so esoteric, it is hard to find a job that I like and am good at. Plus my house is too small, and eventually I won’t be able to handle the stairs. Would you like scientists to develop a cure for stupid or a cure for assholery? ---

Stupid. An asshole can be changed. Maybe. WYR lose a toe or finger to an accident? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=60) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-rather/755444.md?page=62)
