Would you Rather....?

My sister and I have been playing this game, "Would you rather?", for the past couple of months. There are no deck of cards involved nor dice or a game board. It's just a simple, yet not so simple, question. When one of us thinks of grotesquely comparative situations, involving anything from skin diseases to heinous dates, we pose it to the other person. They must choose! We don't challenge each other to test out their choice, but just the thought is enough to make us laugh out loud. Some examples are, "Would you rather have a date who talks really loud or stares?", "Would you rather be buried alive or eaten by a pack of wolves?", "Would you rather have yellow, crooked teeth or really bad acne?" "Would you rather eat a handful of lint or a handful of dirt?" One of my favorites (it gets me every time) came from one of my friends, "Would you rather drink a pint of pee or a handful of crap?" Those are his exact words.



One Would you Rather? has proven to be the most difficult for us fathom. My sister and I have taken opposing sides on this one. Would you rather be obese or confined to a wheelchair? I have taken the liberties (without my sister knowing) to further equate the debilitation of both situations. If you choose to be obese, you are incapable of losing the weight. No surgeries, no weight loss programs or miracle diets will change your size or improve your health. You will be obese until the end of your life. The same fate is determined for confinement to a wheelchair. Surgery, rehab and revolutionary technology are not available options.



What would you choose?
