I LOVE having a mobile to-do list and calendar with me at all times, so I guess I’ll do the hating on the TV ads. Here is one from [Playbill](http://www.playbill.com/article/what-would-you-choose-for-these-18-broadway-themed-would-you-rathers) Would you rather be followed around all day by the Phantom of the Opera, or Sweeney Todd? ---

The Phantom of the Opera. I love the musical. Have your significant other leave you for a person of the gender you are, or for a person of the gender you are not? ---

Wouldn’t really matter to me - I’d be very sad to have her leave me at all. Flip a coin; I’ll be miserable either way. Visit Paris or London, assuming good weather in both? ---

Dentist, by all means. He doesn’t play stupid “dental insurance” games. $200/year, it gets fixed, and I get examined, cleaned, etc. WYR cheat at backgammon or go to jail in Monopoly? ---

I don’t want to be a cheater, so I’ll go to jail in Monopoly. WYR pay ridiculously high housing costs, or spend 3 hours in godawful traffic commuting every day (1.5 hours each direction.) ---

Putin by default. I wouldn’t want to even shake Trump’s hand. Be a guest starr or a puppeteer on Sesame Street? ---
