1. An eccentric millionaire offers to donate a very large sum to a charity of your choosing (other than you) if you’ll step, completely naked, out of a car onto a busy city street, walk four blocks through the noontime traffic, and climb back into the car. Knowing that you would be in no physical danger, would you do it?
Um… that’s illegal, so no. If it weren’t illegal, maybe.
2. As a follow-up to the above, how would you rank the follwing in terms of relative unpleasantness — (a) a nude stroll in public, (b) being spat upon by a crowd of people, (c) being arrested for shoplifting at a crowded store, (d) begging for money in a public place.
- Being spat upon
- Begging
- Being arrested for shoplifting
- Nude stroll
3. Enough unpleasantness. If you could travel back in time to meet anyone in your family’s history, who would it be?
Hm…. hard to say! Probably my dad’s parents, because they died before I was born and I think I inherited a fair number of characteristics from them. Also, Grandpa Haas moved here from Germany, and I’d love to know more about that.
