What do you do? I call the Greyhound bus station and tell them to direct the bus on another route. I DO have an hour, right? BD>(2) It is twenty years in the future. World Chancellor Newt Gingrich BD>has banned the works of Shakespeare. The one remaining copy is BD>trapped in a burning building. You can either save it or rescue a BD>young woman trapped in an adjoining room. Which do you save? The woman. Books can be replaced, whether it's by word of mouth of whatever. BD>(3) If you could choose to have either one true friend or one good BD>lover for the rest of your life, which would you choose? A true friend. Sexual compatability can be worked on, but a true friend is hard to find. BD>(4) You dog gets really sick. The vet says he needs an operation BD>which will completely cure him but will cost $10,000. Do you pay? BD>(5) What if it's your cat? In either case, I'd have the vet put them to sleep. They still are just pets. BD>(6) In a foreign country, you are unjustly convicted of stealing. BD>The judge offers you the choice of being permanently and totally BD>blinded, deafened, or struck dumb. What do you tell him? Deaf, I think... BD>(7) If someone lies to you, how long before you trust them again? Depends on a few factors, actually...who the person is, what they're lying about, etc. I'm pretty forgiving though. BD>(8) Your best friend is driving you to get something to eat. He is BD>careless going around a turn and hits an old woman crossing the BD>street. She's obviously killed, but no one sees and there is no BD>damage to or marks on his car. He does not turn himself in. Do you? Heh. Is Dag on leave? BD>(9) How much money would it take to get you to blow a Shetland pony? That's sick, BD. All of these other questions are thought provoking, but this...it's disgusting. BD>(10) Your best friend/lover/mom/wife/whatever (the person you care for BD>most) is placed in a room with you by a maniacal psycopath. Said BD>psycopath then starts filling the room with water and tells you unless BD>you kill yourself or the other person he will flood the room and kill BD>you both. You know from media reports that this psycopath will do BD>exactly as he says. What is your response? f Ya know, this is the most difficult one to answer of all of them for me. A few years ago I would've said without a doubt, "Take me and let the other person live". Now, though, all I can say is that I just don't know. Babydoll Do I get a prize now? heh. =========================================================================== BBS: The Cutting Edge!

BD>(7) If someone lies to you, how long before you trust them again? It trul depends on a couple things.
