Would you rather?

Stay home. Who cares?

See the Beatles first performance at the Cavern Club or last performance at Candlestick Park?

I guess the last, presumably they had become more practiced showmen by that time

Have a small uninhabited island in the Pacific named after you or a star named after you?

The Island.

Would you rather have ten extra years now, no aging, or twenty extra years tagged on at the end of your life, normal aging.

Meh, not a big fan of crowds OR the wedding of strangers, so I’ll stay home.

Go to the wedding of Prince Harry/Megan M., or go back in time to see an original Shakespeare play of your choice. (I’m going to get rid of these Shakespeare tickets, no matter what it takes!)

Cleanup.

Ten extra years. Wouldn’t want twenty in (possibly) poor health.

Go to the wedding of Prince Harry/Megan M., or go back in time to see an original Shakespeare play of your choice.

Goddammit, fine, I will take the Shakespeare tickets. Also, I have no interest in the weddings of strangers.

Eat nothing but an all-veggie salad for dinner every night for two weeks, or eat nothing but a different steamed vegetable for dinner every night for two weeks.

Neither sounds particularly appealing, but I guess the salad offers a bit more variety where dressings/toppings are concerned
Get a kitten or a puppy?

Kitten. I’d like to be an crazy cat old lady.

Live in a freezing cold/boiling hot place with your true love, or live alone in a temperature climate.

Having survived 7 years in Alaska, I’ll take the cold please
Choose endless cash flow or endless good health?

Interesting question. Only a few years ago I would have chosen the cash, but now, while I am an decent health myself, my friends are getting to the age where they have ailments, and when I hear about them I pronounce myself lucky not to have them! So I will choose endless health (until I am hit by one of the maniacs on the freeway…)

Would you rather have a sore throat or head congestion?

Head congestion.
Be given $5 million, or have the “other side” get 50 million fewer votes in every upcoming election from now on?

Option 2. I would give up considerable wealth to help save my country.

Watch the State of the Union Address tonight, or watch three of Nixon’s?

Assuming I could fast forward through the 4-minute standing ovations (did they have those back in Nixon’s time?) I will watch Nixon. It might be interesting from a historical perspective and I would retch less.

You could be an ocarina salesman, going from door to door
OR
Would you like to swing on a star and carry moonbeams home?
OR
Would you like to be a fish?

Last names Trout, so let’s be a fish
Go without spices. Or. Condiments ?

Condiments. I like cinnamon way too much not to have it.

See fire or rain?

Fire, it’s actually something that happens and moves and is active.
Rather have your team win 20 championships but never be able to watch the video footage of any of it, or even know the score, or opponent, etc…or watch your team win 3 championships, in your lifetime, with you in person to see it, and follow it all as it happened?

20 championships. I love the bragging rights.

Get really sick from a flu shot or moderately sick from the real flu?

Moderately sick always beats really sick.

Have a cancerous brain tumor or a cancerous tumor in your lady/gentleman parts?

If the brain ain’t healthy, ain’t nothin’ healthy. I’ll have to deal with it down there.
Eat the same dish every meal for a week*: goulash or macaroni and cheese?
.
.

  • I’ll allow vitamin supplements

I’m a vegetarian, so mac and cheese it is.

Speak flawless Russian or flawless Yiddish?
