Zobmondo is "The Outrageous Book of Bizarre Choices". I thought it was about time we start up another of those Question of the Day kinds of threads (like Scruples was)... Here we go.


The Rules as set forth by the intro in the book...

1. You must pick one or the other.

2. You may not alter the question, add disclaimers or conditions, etc...

So, with that said, Would you rather:

Chew on a wild rat's severed tail for a half an hour

OR

thoroughly brush your teeth with a toothbrush from a prison's community toothbrush bowl?


I choose the toothbrush.

Associated facts:

In the 1300s, rats carrying deadly fleas brought the Black Plague to Europe, killing 2/3 of the continent's population.

The toothbrush was invented in prison. In 1770, a london prisoner attached some bristles to a bone. When released, he started a toothbrush business that was immediately successful.

Some are a lot worse, some are a lot more tame. :-)

Give me the rat's tail. There is no hair, so the flea problem is moot.

Eeeewww ... if I had to choose ... it would be the toothbrush too. I would try to "de-germ" it the best I could.

Could I wash the toothbrush first?

If so, toothbrush.

If I can't wash it, then rat tail, I'll take my chances with the rat.

A half hour is an awfully long time to chew on...anything, really. A rat's tail especially. Now, prison saliva...still pretty nasty but you could get it over quick and, hey, if it's a community toothbrush bowl, then they're doing it so how terrible can it *gag* be?

LOTS of toothpaste on that brush!

Doesn't the term 'bodily fluids' ring a bell with anyone? Way too many deadly microbes roaming around in the mouths of prisoners to entice me to use the communal toothbrush.

Good Morning everyone! Here's today's question..It's an easier one I think.

Would you rather...

Have the CIA after you

OR

have the Mafia after you?


CIA for me
