Would You??

Sure

Would you work with the peace corp for a year at your current compensation? (whether it be job, self employed)

No one could choose to do that, Tony. The Peace Cops doesn't pay anything except a nominal stipend (enough to buy food and clothes--barely). But given that, yes, been there, loved it.

Would you travel to a foreign country if you didn't have a visa, but the border were vague (with no checkpoints you knew of) and you were not planning on spending the night?

Perhaps long enough to take a picture proving I was there!

Could you be persuaded to drop your life and move to a foreign locale for a job promotion?

Only if there were some kind of a cushion under my life when I dropped it. (Serious answer: Heck yes, I did it just for laughs).

Would you "charm" a cobra in a basket--you know, with one of those flute things--if you had been assured by the regular snake charmer that its tail was attached to the bottom of the basket, leaving it out of striking range (which is how they do it)? Oh and your motive is, um, to make 100 dollars on a bet.

Never trust a poisonous snake, and make the call about its antecedents yourself.

Would you catch a snake in the wild, assuming you can tell the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes in your geographic area?

i have caught snakes in the wild before.

If you wanted to travel to another country would you save money on room and bored by staying in a strangers house for free in return for letting them stay in your house while you are gone?

I'd make sure all my important stuff was securely locked up then I would.

Would you eat a salad without dressing?

I eat salads without dressing, although I admit it's kinky. ;-)

Would you take left over food from a work function when no one was looking?

hell yea, actually that is the custom in the Caribbean.

Would you be a good foreign journalist? (Qualification: covering real/hard stories)

Probably not. The writing isn't really a problem but I have serious problems with deadlines...

Would you do search and rescue work in remote areas?

If I could be any help, sure, but I think it's probably best to leave it to the pros.

Would you be able to forget a painful memory by force of will?

No. God knows I have tried.

When you have an unpleasant dream and wake up, do you find yourself back in the same dream when you fall back asleep?

No not usually

Do you normally remember your dreams?

Yes for a brief spell, however sometimes a dream will be so pertinent that I'll remind myself of it for years after, even to the point where I can remember specific imagery and how the dream uh... looked(?). Last night I had a wicked nightmare and all I remember about it now is that I woke up, laughed to myself about how bizarre it had been and then fell back to sleep and resumed dreaming, but this time only that my roommate removed every appliance from the kitchen and left me a bunch of weird, explanatory notes.

Would you devote all of your time to writing a great work of literature if you knew for certain you would not gain recognition in your lifetime, or even that your book would be entirely censored for the duration of your life?

No, although not for those reasons. I've got too many fun or important things going on in my life to do it, that's all. Plus being remembered for something after my death has no attraction to me at all. How would I even know? Or if I knew in some Afterlife, why would I care? Why would gaining recognition in the still matter? Being dead is a real drain on one's vanity. :)

If you were lost and starving in the wilderness, would you kill and eat your faithful and beloved dog to survive?

heck I don't even think id kill a suicidal squirrel, much less a beloved dog...

i don't even think id eat her if she died before me...

ever see the farside cartoon with the fat and happy dog being rescued in the life raft, presumably after too many days at sea...and there are some human remants (like glasses and clothes) laying about? laughs...and the rescuers are wondering how the dog managed to survive all that time.

same question.

In extremis, I would prioritize returning to my wife over the dog's survival. It would have to be an extreme last resort, though, and by that time the dog would probably be able to kill me in self defense. Or maybe we'd both be dead of thirst before food got to be an issue. But yes, ultimately. I'd do it if I had to.

If you found out that your obnoxious boss was cheating on his wife, would you let her know (anonymously) just to give him grief?

Yes I would, even if the boss wasn't obnoxious I would not feel right about keeping that secret.

Would you be angry if a non-relative ( friend, neighbor, etc.) disciplined your child provided that the child was misbehaving and the discipline was reasonable?

A teacher can do that. Otherwise refer the matter to me and let me take care of it. And yes, depending on the situation, I'd probably be pissed at both of them.

Would you sell your recently deceased mother's jewelry on eBay for over $5,000? You don't really need the money, but you don't much care for the jewelry either. Still, she wanted you to have it.

If I didn't need the money than I probably wouldn't sell but if I didn't intend to wear it thsn I might try and find some artistic use for it instead of just letting it collect dust and take up space.

Your friend has an obnoxious bratty kid and asks if you could babysit for her. Would you do it or come up with an excuse not to?

Yeh I would, I can handle most kids and frankly an obnoxious and bratty kid is pretty much always a direct result of ****ty parenting, and I hope my friend would be better than that.

Would you, as a soldier, after successfully making it out of danger, run back into fire to pick up someone too injured to save themselves who you didn't really know very well?

As a soldier it would be my duty to go back and save them, as a civilian I would save myself over risking my life for a stranger or near stranger, but as a solider putting your life in danger for others is your job.

Would you get plastic surgery to make yourself more attractive or look younger?

Yep, lots of it, as long as I knew it would actually make me look more attractive and younger, and not all plasticy and uncanny valley.

Would you?

If I knew the surgeon personally and it was free. Otherwise it's not worth the risk or the benefit.

Would you regard augmented boobs as more or less desirable than natural ones?

Less desirable I prefer natural

Would you lie on your résumé if you knew you wouldn't get caught and it would increase your chances of getting a job you really wanted?

I think you answered the wrong question, DM, but never mind. It was a good answer.

No, never lie on your resume. It makes you vulnerable once you have the job, which is not worth it. Just be honest and patient.

Would you make an excuse to someone you didn't want to date, or just say that you didn't want to?

At first I was responding to Chopin, I didn't see you already answered but than I edited my response.

I would be honest

If someone you didn't want to talk to asked for your number would you give them a fake number?

People ask me all the time and I always say no.

If someone you truly disrespected got an award that (s)he didn't deserve at work, and everyone else (about 30 others, including the bosses who made the decision) gave him or her a standing ovation, would you join in?

I don't have a phone, but no I wouldn't give someone a fake number, that's mean. Also on the rare occasions when I have had to turn someone down I always give an excuse, the last one being that I still wasn't 'over' my ex.

Would you be turned off of someone romantically if they never read?

Yes, I would give the standing ovation, I can't imagine caring enough about work to make some petulant statement through remaining seated, at any rate it wouldn't help me, I would just look bad.

No, being unread makes for bad dinner conversation, but the bedroom is another place.

Same question.

Nah, not turned off, but the opposite is quite a turn on and I can move past a much prettier girl for one who I find interesting/reads a lot.

Would you rather sign up for dance lessons or be involved in amateur theatre and be made to act in a play?

Definitely acting.

What Shakespearean role would you most like to play?

You keep beating me

I would say Rosalind

Would you let a sibling who has a history of drug use crash at your place if they had no where else to go?

Course I would, why wouldn't I?

Would you seek any sort of revenge if your partner cheated on you?

Yes I would

Would you lend a friend money if you there was a chance they wouldn't pay you back?

Not much, I am broke myself.

Haha what form would your revenge take?

The answer to that question might be incriminating. I plead the 5th

If you had the ability would you send a virus to the computer of someone you really didn't like?

No. It wouldn't change the person or the situation, and what comes around goes around. Better to find someone I really did like and forget all about the other.

Would you put your life at risk to save someone else if you owed the other person $500,000 plus interest and the debt would be over on his or her death?

Probably not.
I've always used Apple computers at home and we really don't worry so much about viruses, so wouldn't wish it on another, even if I didn't dig that person.

If you had a vivid dream, and in that dream someone you knew died, and even though you don't believe in premonitions... would you be concerned that the dream might come true, and would you warn the person involved?
