A Question:

Consider these options:

1. You must take a certain pill every single day or you will die. Additionally, you must take the pill exactly between the minutes of 3:10 am to 3:13 am, or you will also die. The pills will be provided for you free of charge. As long as you take the pill at the appointed time, you will never get sick (but as stated before, if you don't take the pill, you will die). The pills make your breath smell like Elmer's glue mixed with fish paste.

OR

2. You will die in a car accident. You don't know when, but you know that before this happens, you will achieve success both in your chosen career and in your personal life and you will have fulfilled most all of your major life goals. You know that only you will die in the accident and that your loved ones will be well cared for. Friends will praise you and celebrate the life you have lived.

Which one of these scenarios would you choose and why?

I'll take the fish glue breath.
 
this is like that time in Jr. High we would think of the worst ways to die and then chose between two of them...it's kindof weird...like that one with the nail and the fire...
 
I used to play this game back in the day too. And I hated it every time. But I choose #2. I like sleeping too much to have to get up every night and take a stupid pill. Plus I like good death stories and "not taking a pill" is not high on the list of things I want in my obituary.
 
the car accident. if i've achieved most career and personal goals, and my family will be taken care of, my job is done. plus, i also like sleeping too much.
 
Fish glue breath? Why that's even worse than the chalky, ashy taste left from pepto bismal tablets. Does it change your tongue a different color too? That would be the deciding factor for me.

PS Are you going to grace the cake dome party with your presence tomorrow? Please please do!
