Both are horrible to experience, but I'll pick itchy.

It would depend on where the itch is...

Yikes! I almost forgot about this thread this morning!!! Here's today's... Would you rather- Have to slurp the spittle out of the instruments of the brass section of a philharmonic orchestra after a performance OR have to chew the petrified gum stuck to the bottom of every seat in a movie theater? As appealing as they both may be, I'll take the spittle please.

Gum. At least it's dried out. Spittle is just gross.

I'd rather Eeyores and Hermoine take the gum, too.

Wow. Am I gross for picking the spit? It seems cleaner than old, hard, chewed by all kinds of people and stuck to a dirty seat gum. It's dried spit, but spit is spit. At least the spit is, uh, fresh and the orchestra people seem like they might have more of a chance of having cleaner mouths than random movie theater people that would stick their gum on a seat. I need some mouthwash thinking about this. Ugh. The biggest reason I haven't been posting the real gross questions is that I don't want to answer them!

Ha!!!! Tish!!!! With the gum, I can pretend there isn't another person's spit in my mouth. With the spittle, you KNOW you've got someone else's spit in your mouth. And it's still warm.

Kaili, I think it may be the word "slurp" that has so many of us opting for gum, LOL!

The gum and I hope it's a small theater! I remember when I was in kindergarden and my bf,Jackie, used to pick up hardened gum from the sidewalk and chew it!! I didn't feel the peer pressure to do the same, thank goodness!

the gum. when i was a kid i used to pick up hardened gum from the street and chew it, too. we never got candy or gum, so it was a special treat! sometimes it even had a little mint flavor left in it! it was actually a lot better than mud packed on a used popsicle stick. i used to eat those and pretend it was a fudgecicle.

My, my! This is quite the thread. I've been stuck pondering a few of the questions since I found this thread earlier today. Mafia vs. CIA? That's an easy one. Pus vs. maggots? Not so easy. And who the hell wants to use a communal prison toothbrush??? <*shudder*> I do think I'd much rather take someone that my mom chose over my first love -- I'd be smoking pot and watching Johnny Bravo in my underwear right now had I married my first love. As for spittle vs. gum??? That's a tough one. But somehow, all that ran through my mind at the thought of sucking spittle out of a brass instrument was "This one time... at band camp...". I choose gum.

A different type one for today: Would you rather- live until you are 80 and die after 6 months of unbearable pain that can't be helped with drugs OR die peacefully at 55 years old? Tough one. 6 months in terrible pain would be awful for me and awful for my family watching me die. But they would be saying "she had a good, long life, blah, blah, blah". 55 is just so young. My mom is only 3 years away from 55 and no way do I want anything to happen to her, even if it is peaceful. I wouldn't want to do that to my kids that I don't have yet (and who would therefore be pretty young yet when I'm 55). I'll take 80 I guess. That's a whole extra 25 years of life in exchange for 6 months of pain.

Well now you've gotten right down to the crux of things...whether it is death we fear or the pain involved. I'll leave at 55...I think that's being selfish and it's not that far away...still, yup, 55.

It's definitely the pain I fear ... I'll leave at 55 with Vee.

Oh goody - death, not gross! Having watched a painful death, I'd rather pack it in early and spare my family and myself.

Since my son would only be 19 yrs old when I'm 55, I have to say 80.
