Fun philosophical hypotheticals:
1. Would you have one half inch of your pinkie surgically removed for $1M cash?
2. What would rather have: $20K cash or guarantee of never having the common cold the rest of your life?
3. Would you, as a heterosexual, have full sex with a person of the same sex for $1M?
4. Would you spend two months in general population San Quentin prison for $1M cash?
5. Which would you choose: Eat whatever you want and maintain whatever weight you desire effortlessly, or $1M cash?
6. Would you let your spouse have protected sex with another anonymous (not unattractive) person who will never be seen again for $1M cash?
7. Which would you rather have, start over from ten years ago (if you're 30 and will die at 80, you go back to 20 and still die at 80), or add ten years to your life (you're 30 but you live to 90)?
8. Would you take a 10% cut in pay today to guarantee you'll never been unemployed on your terms.
9. For those married: If you could have sex with anyone in the world other than your spouse, and there is 100% guarantee no one would find out about it and no one would be physically or psychologically hurt, would you do it?
10. Women: If their personalities where the same, which would you chose: a top 5% looks but 50% income or a top 5% income but 50% looks.
11. Men: Two 7s (separately) or one 10?
12. Would you eat a live grasshopper for $1000 cash?

With the exception of the grasshopper question (which is a definate "no!") June declines to answer on the grounds that she may incriminate herself!

Silly questions but I'll play as I am bored :


1. Would you have one half inch of your pinkie surgically removed for $1M cash? No


2. What would rather have: $20K cash or guarantee of never having the common cold the rest of your life? No more colds ever

3. Would you, as a heterosexual, have full sex with a person of the same sex for $1M? No

4. Would you spend two months in general population San Quentin prison for $1M cash? No I wouldn't last an hour


5. Which would you choose: Eat whatever you want and maintain whatever weight you desire effortlessly, or $1M cash? The former


6. Would you let your spouse have protected sex with another anonymous (not unattractive) person who will never be seen again for $1M cash? Absolutely NOT though he has his own mind so it is not in my power to "Let him" do anything


7. Which would you rather have, start over from ten years ago (if you're 30 and will die at 80, you go back to 20 and still die at 80), or add ten years to your life (you're 30 but you live to 90)? Start over from 10 years ago


8. Would you take a 10% cut in pay today to guarantee you'll never been unemployed on your terms. Possibly


9. For those married: If you could have sex with anyone in the world other than your spouse, and there is 100% guarantee no one would find out about it and no one would be physically or psychologically hurt, would you do it? No, not the slightest bit interested in anyone else. That's why I got married.



10. Women: If their personalities where the same, which would you chose: a top 5% looks but 50% income or a top 5% income but 50% looks. Whoever has the best personality and will make me happy

11. Men: Two 7s (separately) or one 10?


12. Would you eat a live grasshopper for $1000 cash? No, it's cruel . I have eaten dead grasshoppers ( quite nice) , eating live animals is wrong.

12. Would you eat a live grasshopper for $1000 cash?
1: Yes
2: 20k. I've had maybe five colds in my whole life.
3: Absolutely.
4: Probably not. I'd have to weigh that one for a while.
5: The money. It's not hard to maintain a healthful diet.
6: Absolutely.
7: If I retain all memories, relationships, and belongings I currently possess, I'd go back ten years. If not, add ten years.
8: No.
9: No. I'm pretty well smitten with my current man.
10: Neither income nor looks is my main criteria for choosing a man.
11: Does not apply
12: Any time. Grasshoppers are tasty as long as the legs are removed.

OK I'll play:

1. Would you have one half inch of your pinkie surgically removed for $1M cash?

No. Money always grows back but fingers don't.

2. What would rather have: $20K cash or guarantee of never having the common cold the rest of your life?

20K. I would have been in the same boat without the offer, but with it I could buy a new car. Plus colds don't have permanent consequences.

3. Would you, as a heterosexual, have full sex with a person of the same sex for $1M?

No. I just wouldn't...

4. Would you spend two months in general population San Quentin prison for $1M cash?

...But I would survive San Quentin prison. I've been through worse already. Pass the soap on a rope.

5. Which would you choose: Eat whatever you want and maintain whatever weight you desire effortlessly, or $1M cash?

Give me the million. I can control my body functions just fine on my own and am stronger for it.

6. Would you let your spouse have protected sex with another anonymous (not unattractive) person who will never be seen again for $1M cash?

How much would she enjoy it? Um...probably nope.

7. Which would you rather have, start over from ten years ago (if you're 30 and will die at 80, you go back to 20 and still die at 80), or add ten years to your life (you're 30 but you live to 90)?

I'll take the 10 extra years. The last decade (my 20's) kinda sucked for me.

8. Would you take a 10% cut in pay today to guarantee you'll never been unemployed on your terms.

No, Security isn't the priority for me that it should be. I want the most I can get, now. Besides, I could invest the extra 10% and end up secure AND unemployed.

9. For those married: If you could have sex with anyone in the world other than your spouse, and there is 100% guarantee no one would find out about it and no one would be physically or psychologically hurt, would you do it?

Mmmm.... Hot sex, no consequences, just like a porno movie! I'll take it...

10. Women: If their personalities where the same, which would you chose: a top 5% looks but 50% income or a top 5% income but 50% looks.
11. Men: Two 7s (separately) or one 10?

Damn biological imperatives! I'll take 2 #7's


12. Would you eat a live grasshopper for $1000 cash?

Hell, I'd do it for a dollar!

Would that answer exclude young men bearing red flannel hunter's caps and mouse print boxer shorts???

Oh, you renegade woman, you!

My responses

1. No.
2. No Colds. I'm 49 now and I get two colds a year and I will die on my 97th birthday so I have 96 colds left at two weeks per cold. The $20K isn't worth it for all those miserable days.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. Eat whatever I want.
6. Yes.
7. Live ten more years
8. Yes, pay cut for job security. Money is not as good as no job is bad.
9. Yes
10. [I notice some people aren't really answering the question. It's only fun if you answer the question.]
11. Five 5s would work too. For men, variety is more important than quality. However, I asked my buddy this question and to my surprise (most men say two 7s) he said he'd take the ten. His logical explanation: "I can always get 7s at some time, but I'll never get a 10 so if I have an opportunity for a 10, I'll take it."
12. No.

1. Would you have one half inch of your pinkie surgically removed for $1M cash? Nope. I like my appendages.

2. What would rather have: $20K cash or guarantee of never having the common cold the rest of your life? I can live with colds and I don't get them very often. Give me the cash. Now if you had said cancer, Alzheimer's, or some other horrible disease like that, I change my tune.

3. Would you, as a heterosexual, have full sex with a person of the same sex for $1M? Doubtful. I'd have to be really drunk. Since I don't drink that much, the chances are not high.

4. Would you spend two months in general population San Quentin prison for $1M cash? No. Not built for prison. I can hold my own, but I am not dangerous by any stretch. Besides, 4 might lead to 3 above. If so, do you get $2M?

5. Which would you choose: Eat whatever you want and maintain whatever weight you desire effortlessly, or $1M cash? Show me the money. I already eat well and don't have a weight problem.

6. Would you let your spouse have protected sex with another anonymous (not unattractive) person who will never be seen again for $1M cash? Nope. I don't share my soulmate with anyone for any price. Now, if this was about my ex-wife, absolutely, but he'd have to take her with him.

7. Which would you rather have, start over from ten years ago (if you're 30 and will die at 80, you go back to 20 and still die at 80), or add ten years to your life (you're 30 but you live to 90)? Going back ten years probably wouldn't gain me anything. That's when I got divorced and life got good again. Give me the ten extra years.

8. Would you take a 10% cut in pay today to guarantee you'll never been unemployed on your terms. Sure. Once done I would then immediately seek another job that gets me back to where I was or better.

9. For those married: If you could have sex with anyone in the world other than your spouse, and there is 100% guarantee no one would find out about it and no one would be physically or psychologically hurt, would you do it? Doubtful for the same reason as #6. But if I did, her name better be Sandra Bullock.

10. Women: If their personalities where the same, which would you chose: a top 5% looks but 50% income or a top 5% income but 50% looks. N/A

11. Men: Two 7s (separately) or one 10? Does it HAVE to be separately?

12. Would you eat a live grasshopper for $1000 cash? Sure

Money doesn't drive everything I do. I work, and it gives me sufficient money to live on, I have no need or want for more.
