Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at 12:16 AM Longtime listeners will know this one (it's my personal favorite) but I'm curious to know how other people will answer. I'm taking this from memory and I might be embellishing on my own, but the core ideas are identical. Choose one of the following: 1) Imagine the most disgusting, putrid, vile, ugly, toothless, hairy, barely-human member of the oppisite sex you've ever met. Now, imagine that person twice as ugly and wants you. You must spend the night with this person making sweet, sweet love--all night long. You'd have to do everything that you would do to a person you really were attracted to and anything else that person asked of you. But after the fact, no one knows, not even the person you were with. There is no evidence and no one would ever think or believe that this act occured. You, however, remember it all and did in fact do all of it. 2) Take that very same disgusting, putrid, vile, ugly, toothless, hairy, barely-human member of the oppisite sex. You do nothing sexual or intimate with that person. But EVERYONE you know believes you did everything you would have had to do in the first option. Your family, your friends, your coworkers, your classmates, your priest, even some total strangers like the Pope believe you did that person. No matter how much you deny what happened, they'll never believe that you didn't do it even though you did in fact do nothing at all. So which is it? —clodhopper |
