Would You Rather...: Over 200 Absolutely Absurd Dilemmas to Ponder

by Justin Heimberg, David Gomberg

In an hysterical blend of absurdity, wit, and pop culture comes Would You Rather??, a collection of laugh-out-loud funny, irreverent and irresistibly thought-provoking dilemmas. Readers are stumped with questions like: ? Would you rather watch a porn movie with your parents?or watch a porn movie starring your parents? ? Would you rather fight Mike Tyson?or talk like him? ? Would you rather live in a world where at the end of a rainbow, there really was a pot of gold?or where at the end of a rainbow there were 500 cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon?? The over 200 hilarious questions ask readers to look deep within themselves and choose between two equally undesirable?or desirable?options. Filled with twisted insights and hip pop culture references, Would You Rather?? is brain candy to tempt the most finicky palate.

Kind of fun party/drunk would you rather stuff. I always find those funny and you can always continue just messing around after one and add conditions, inventing you own and stuff. Funny if this is you kind of stuff and with 200 of them you'll be good for a while.

kind of funny but also what that f***k. some of these are so nonsensical that the would you rather is completely lost in how weird they are
fun charity shop find though.

I love this whole series of books. I keep a copy in the bathroom.

the conundrums from the book that aren't too over-the-top end up as journal topic in my Jr. High classroom.

My favorite: Would you rather appear as Yasir Arrafat in the mirror, or have Darth Vader's theme play every time you walk in a room. Things to consider: Shaving, putting on make-up, public restrooms.

The guy at Books a Million accidentally gave this to us for free at check-out and since we're not exceedingly honest people we kept it. It was funny and awkward. Both the book and the situation.
