No I wouldn't because I bet there are a lot of people who would be throwing those balls out of malice, which is why the target job in those dunking booths is usually reserved for the CEO or other PIC (person in charge) that no one likes, even though I am just an low-level clerk. And since my daily job is the daily equivalent of dunking booth target, I think I'll pass thank you very much
would you eat a live octopus?
(apparently this is what you have to do as part of your ninja training according to a TV show that was just on -- but of course, I don't pay attention so maybe they weren't training to be ninjas, but they were training for something)
Assuming that the octopus is of a docile nature and one of which I can overpower (not some Archetuthis) I would have no problem with it. May need some salt, however.
Would you donate a vital organ for a complete stranger if it meant saving his/her life?
Probably not, unless I met them and talked to them for a while. But then they wouldn't be a complete stranger anymore.
Assume that you're filthy rich, and you've written a book that you're convinced is very good. You send it around to a hundred different publishing houses and they all flatly reject it. Would you have it self-published and buy space on a major chain's shelves for it?
No because I know how easily we fool ourselves into thinking we can all be authors, designers and actors.
would you wear banana yellow pants?
Only if I had a banana yellow shirt.
Would you welcome a homeless man/woman into your home?
Just some random guy? No. I'm willing to volunteer to work at a shelter or lobby my congressman to do more about homelessness, but I can't have just anybody living in my house, homeless or not.
You are offered a contract: work the next 7 years of your life for 80 hrs a week at some mind-numbing and exhausting job that you would hate. The entire time you get no money. They provide room and board: the food is awful and you sleep on a cot in a hall with 50 other people.
At the end of 7 years you get 50 million dollars. If you quit at any point you get nothing. Do you accept?
No. This is your life and it is passing by with every second, counting down, and before you realize what you have missed, it will be over.
If you could live forever, would you?
Good answer, I don't even think I could do it for 7 months.
Live forever? No, I think the desire for eternal life is short-sighted and too egotistical. For me an eternity of life would be even more of a prison sentence than death. At least with death you have an element of the unknown, and at the very least a release from consciousness. Also, without death, life would be cheapened and unnatural.
Dealing with the inevitability of death is difficult, but I would go mad if I knew I'd be stuck in this body, with this personality, in this world, forever.
If the only way you could escape several years of certain homelessness was to join the army, would you go?
sure, can't be that bad ....
would you sing outloud in a crowded place just to win a bet?
LoL, I HAVE done that, so I think I could muster up the courage to do it again, ha ha! :lol:
Would you ever just get up, view your neighborhood and go and clean it up, one piece of garbage at a time?
done it before with my friend and sister when we were bored. and the neighborhood looked real trashy. so, yes.
would you die to see some one who you dislike live?
I'm thinking probably not
Would you go to your laser tattoo removal treatment without wearing your topical anesthetic cream knowing that they won't be giving you an anesthetic when you get there?
No, I avoid pain whenever possible.
would you still respect a person whom you always have if you found out that one of their deepest convictions is completely ludicrous?
well, I try to be objective with my friends, unless there is so much b.s. that I cannot stand it anymore. I would thus shy away from said person. But I try not to judge my friends, as I have weaknesses galore, too. :)
Would you ever wear shoes a size too small, just to be fashionable?
