Take a dogsled across Alaska in the coldest, darkest place of winter. No doubt about it. I would melt in the Sahara, I'm sure.

Would you rather stay forever at your current age or be 10 years younger and stay at that age forever?

The age I am now.

Quarterback. I've done some boxing, and I got banged around too much.

Would you rather be a captain of industry or an astrophysicist.

Astrophysicist.

Would you rather eat cheese from in between a person's unwashed feet or not be able to wash yourself for a year?

Eat cheese.

Never eat pizza again. It's not essential to my lifestyle, but chocolate, that's a whole different story.

Of the most dangerous and deadly jobs one can have, would you rather be an Alaskan Crab Fisherman and risk dying of drowning or hypothermia, or become a Logger in Peru and knowingly test fate with bodily harm by harvesters, chainsaws, or/and getting struck by 40 ton logs?

Alaskan Crab Fisherman. It's dangerous, but you can make bank.

Would you rather get locked in the iron maiden or ride the wooden horse?

Yikes. Iron Maiden, I suppose.

Hurricane... Already done it once. Besides, I can swim and maintain buoyancy.... Earthquake? Nope, can't levitate.


Would you rather be smeared with honey and then... be strapped over an anthill? Or placed in a cage with bears?

Anthill.


Would you rather write one novel that becomes a best seller or write ten novels that never crack the top 200?

Ten novels. I would give up the big sale, but I'd have a chance for ten movie or TV adaptations. What's more, I'm assuming my ten novels would be critical successes, and I'd have a greater sense of accomplishment.

Would you rather cross the Atlantic in a sailboat or explore the Arctic in a dogsled?

No contest, Arctic in a dogsled.

Would you rather always have dry eyes or have a constantly runny nose?

Dry eyes - mine are already like the Sahara, and I've coped well enough this long.

Would you rather live by candlelight at the darkest pole or sunshine at the equator?

I wouldn't want to drink a gallon of either. If forced to answer, I might say Pepsi, but note that blind taste tests have shown that people can't tell the difference between Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, New Coke, Diet Pepsi, Coke Zero and a bunch of other cola drinks. It's all in the mind!

Would you rather be trapped in a steam bath or in a refrigerated van?

Fun story on taste testing. When I took a marketing class in college I did a presentation about energy drinks and we did a blind taste test between several of them. Most of the students could tell the difference but a few got it wrong. It was Red Bull, Monster, Rock Star, and Mt. Dew. I had a lot of left overs and downed them. Mixing those is a bad combination. I didn't sleep that night.

Would you rather have vomit come out your nose or blood come out your anus?

I'll deal with the blood anytime.

Would you rather suffer from uncontrollable hiccups 24/7 or not be able to hold in your farts and have a very uneasy gastro-intestinal system?

I'm a lousy poker player, so I'll take blackjack.

Would you rather take a guided tour of Moscow or go on your own to Tokyo?

Topless for sure, or else I'd never sit down in public.

Would you rather have a farm in the city or an apartment in the country?

Farm in the city. Best of both worlds.

Would you rather eat vegan for the rest of your life or only be able to eat meat and dairy without anything else?

Meat and dairy. I'm a firm believer in the Cave Man diet because of.....yeah, that.

Would you rather wash windows for the skyscrapers in NY city or be a coal miner in the far reaches of the Appalachian?

Windows. I'm familiar with skyscrapers, but I wouldn't know my way around a coal mine.

Would you rather be lost in a forest without a compass or lost in a desert without a phone?

Forrest. Though I live in the desert. Would never want to get stranded out there though.

Would you rather eat a pound of your favorite cookies or a pound of your favorite ice cream?
