Funniest Responses
You all are way funnier and more thoughtful than we could've ever imagined. Here are some of the funniest and most thoughtful responses from this year's scenarios:
|
Would you rather have a snake for a boss or best friend?
"So, let's argue that both snakes are sentient. I had a run-in with a snake this weekend when I was brewing beer in my garage. It was an American Wheat. Not the snake, the snake was a black racer I think. So the snake tried to hide under my recycling bin next to the garage. This did not sit well with me, as I have a dog. I tried to move the bin and shoo him away, but I ended up trapping the very
tip of the tail under the bin. This did not sit well with Mr. Snake, and we got into a bit of a Mexican standoff. I finally freed him, but he ran off super fast. My point is... If I pissed off the snake that badly due to a minor misstep, I can only imagine the ire of having a snake boss if I forget to submit my TPS reports on time. I go with Snake-Friend. Hands down on that reason alone."

This one made me laugh more than any other comment all year. The line, "It was an American Wheat. Not the snake, the snake was a black racer." Is pure art. - Chris
|
Would you rather learn to cook from Gordon Ramsey or Guy Fieri?
"This was so tough! I chose Guy because I don't think I'd do well with Gordon's style. I'd probably cry the whole time. But I do think Gordon would probably be able to teach me more - I just wouldn't be able to learn. Because I'd be crying."
|
Would you rather get a high five or a thumbs up?
"I'm one of those socially awkward people that has bad hand-eye coordination and manages to either miss the other person's hand or move too slow — resulting in a weak, unsatisfying smoosh instead of a smack. The high-fiver usually regrets offering me one. Also germs."
|
I feel this so hard. - Chris
|
Would you rather be a werewolf or vampire?
If I were a werewolf all my money would be spent replacing my jeans and flannel shirts. Then you'd have the hassle of trying to remember what phase the moon was in all the time... And who wants to wake up cold and naked in a cornfield once a month??
