This is a joke my dad used to always tell. The punchline was people's reaction to the question.

dungeon guard
Originally uploaded by nuovostrada
Amidst your whirlwind tour of Europe, you decide to see an ancient dungeon that hasn't been publicized very much, but sounds really interesting to you. As you approach the doorway to the dungeon you get a chill of excitement. You're greeted by a heavy-set blond guy who opens the heavy wooden doors that thud with a thunderous clamor as he opens the way for you to enter. You look closely at this man and hesitate. But then that voice in the back of your mind says, "Don't chicken out, this is the kind of experience that leads to the very best stories." So you proceed into the dark staircase that descends to the dungeon. Your hefty guide follows behind. He points to the right and you continue toward a doorway of some kind that has a faint light beyond it. You enter a room full of fascinating artifacts and all sorts of old stuff! "Wow!" you exclaim.
Suddenly the doorway you just walked through is slammed shut and the hefty blond man begins speaking in a surprisingly high-pitch voice: "You can't leave! You must first pass... A TEST!" He then let out a weird bellowing laugh. You shrink into a nearby chair.
He continues, "You must do one of the following things before you can leave. You could," he gestures to a television that you hadn't noticed before, "watch 18 hours of 'The View!'" He lets out another disturbing laugh. "You could eat a steak, that has a 50% chance of killing you with food poisoning!" he points to the old table to your left that does indeed hold a platter with a steak. "You could search for the hidden passage to... the sewer pipes! You can call my cousin, Sven, who doesn't speak any English and hope he can help you out of here." He chuckles, "Or you could try and fight your way out, but I have other guards that are hidden. Your last option is to enter to local hot dog eating contest that has been won for the last 12 years by Kobayashi!" He pauses for a while with a big grin and folds his huge arms. "What will it be?"
So, what do you choose?
Eat the steak.
Make the phone call to Sven.
Search for the passageway to the sewer.
Watch "The View" for 18 hours.
Enter the hot dog eating contest in hopes that you can win.
Go all Jason Bourne and kick some serious trash out of your captor, only to be shot moments later by a guard.

Choose Your Own Adventure Series: Poll The Second

You and your good pal Gloria are out on the town and bored out of your skulls. Gloria spots a tent with a blazing neon sign that reads: "Lady Quailhollow, Fortune Teller." You laugh and joke that you two should go try it. Gloria is serious and says, "Let's do it!" Your smile quickly fades and you're scared. You've had an odd fear of creepy old ladies since you were 8 and that creepy old lady started barking at you. You step back and say, "Uh... no, maybe we should go bowling." Gloria grabs your arm and pulls you toward the tent. You keep trying to fight her on the point, but Gloria gets you into the tent which has an eerie green glow about it. Then she appears, Lady Quailhollow.

Lady Quailhollow gestures for you and Gloria to take a seat. Then, to your surprise, she holds out her hand toward Gloria and says, "Is this your first time having your fortune told, Gloria?" Gloria says, "WOW! How did you know my name?" Lady Quailhollow shrugs and replies, "Your friend just said it." Gloria laughs and hands the creepy lady her palm, "Yes, it is my first time." Lady Quailhollow takes Gloria's hand and closes her eyes and lets out a long heaving sigh. She then opens her eyes and says, "You're about to become more wealthy. Did you recently purchase an item of clothing?" Gloria nods. Lady Quailhollow continues, "Check your pockets. There's treasure there for you." Gloria hesitates, and then checks the pockets of her jacket. She pauses and pulls a $100 bill out of her jacket pocket and shouts, "Woot! That's SO awesome!" Gloria then turns to you and says, "Your turn! You try it!"

Surprising yourself you give your palm to Lady Quailhollow. She flinches violently as she takes your hand. Her face takes on a menacing look, she then stares you in the eye and says, "Your fortune is very dark indeed." ...
So, what do you choose to do?
Ask her to keep going, but to just give it to you straight.
Ask her to just sugar coat it.
Announce your suspicion that Lady Quailhollow slipped the $100 bill into Gloria's pocket, and slap Lady Quailhollow.
Kiss Lady Quailhollow, and bid her farewell.
Think to yourself, "Lady Quailhollow actually resembles a quail." Stand and leave the tent.
Giggle.

Murder

When was the last time you killed something? (A plant, a blade of grass, a fly, a spider, a lemming...etc.)
Today, I kill often.
Yesterday (I stubbed my toe doing it. Stupid spider.)
A week or so.
Month or so. I like things alive.
A year or so. I'm very careful!
NEVER! If blades of grass screamed we wouldn't mow our lawns!


My toe still hurts.

Sunset at Watercolor
Originally uploaded by Laura Travels
You settle into the couch after your long day of work and having just finished a very pleasing dinner. You glance out the window and see that the sun is setting and determine that you should go for a nice sunset stroll. You're at peace with this decision when you hear a faint noise that doesn't sit quite right. You think, "Was that a baby crying?" You stand and move toward where you thought you'd heard the noise. You hear it again, but now you think that it's someone calling out for help. You venture into the bathroom where the noise seems to be coming from and then you hear the voice seemingly creeping up through the pipes say, "HEEEELP!!! I'M STUCK!!!!"
"WHO is that? And where the heck are you?!" you shout into your bathroom sink.
"Oh! I'm so glad you came, I've been in here about 20 minutes calling for you! It's Dave! I'm stuck!" Dave is your semi-obnoxious semi-hilarious friend from next door. Dave then says, "Dude, I was trying to climb through the sewer pipes to give you the scare of a lifetime, but then I took a wrong turn, and well, I'm stuck. I didn't think this through." Dave then starts crying uncontrollably, and shouts for you to help him once more. What a crazy happenstance!
So what do you do?
Call a demolition crew to bust him on outta there!
Call 911, DUH!
Begin frantically flushing tools down the toilet so he can break his way out.
Send your prize gold fish in after him to assess the sitch.
Laugh heartily.
Head out the door for that sunset stroll. Ah...

These fit into songs somehow?

Sheep Pessimism/Optimism Test...


Am I Cute or What?

Do the sheep always make it over the fence when you count sheep?
Yes
No, sometimes they run full speed into the fence.
Yeah, but sometimes they high-center and then struggle their way over.


As opposed to the glass half empty/half full test. The sheep get over or not.

Phone Call of Death!

John Voight (the dentist, not the actor)


Again, I'm never sure how you would end up in that situation, but it's interesting to me to see who y'all would pick based on their names alone. (Aside from John Voight the actor, I know of no real people with these names, just so you know.) I'm so weird.
