Life's persistent questions

Which would you rather carry up a flight of stairs: an aquarium full of fish or a large unwieldy cactus?

Which would you rather read: bad poetry, bad student essays, or bad poetry badly interpreted in bad student essays?

Which would take less effort: cleaning the house or developing such thick callouses on your conscience that you don't care whether it's clean or not?

Where would you prefer to vacation: Biloxi in July or Gary, Indiana, in January?

Which dish would you rather prepare: baked Alaska on a boat, boiled lobster in a hot-air balloon, or sushi in the subway at rush hour?

When you reach into your Christmas stocking, which would you rather find: a live mouse or a dead mouse gorged on fine Swiss chocolates?

Which would you rather do right now: ask these questions or answer them?
