Devil's Choices

The Devil forces you to choose. You have to give up one of two things, completely and for the rest of your life. You choose which.

Choice 1.
Wine, or beer?

Choice 2.
Chicken, or pork?

Choice 3.
Meat, or alcohol?

Choice 4.
Meat, or firearms?

Choice 5.
Reading, or moving pictures (television and movies)?

Choice 6.
Oral language (speaking/hearing), or written language (reading/writing)?

Choice 7.
Sex with another person, or any form of motorized transport*?
* includes cars, motorcycles, trains, planes, elevators, space shuttle, etc, as either operator or passenger.

Choice 8.
Your children, or your spouse?

The fine print:
- You have to make all 8 Choices. The Devil will decide which one Choice will actually apply. The Choices are not cumulative.
- The choices are personal to you. If you give up something or someone, it continues to exist and be enjoyed by others. You can never use or possess or engage in or consume it. To give up someone means you will never see or communicate with or hear news of him/her.
- You will give up the thing of your choosing for the rest of your life, which will be a normal lifespan, so suicide is not an option. You will give it up in the afterlife as well.

I'd give up wine, chicken, meat, firearms, reading, written language, sex.

It's OK, I'm old and already had more sex than most of you whipper-snappers combined

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Sort of reminds me of the beer commercial "Who would you save? Me or Buster?"... The guy picks the beer instead of the girl and she walks off. Hysterical! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJ_Gp4YFUA

Sorry, am an old conservative fart and not going to put up with crap like that.

Would wring the devils neck, take HIS choices and go back to my drink watching a good movie on the tube.

I'm with Joe on this one... I'd take a page from Martin Luther... chuck my ink well at the devil and then carry on with my business.


Besides... you know what they say about the crossroads.

The devil is a lawyer I mean a lie and a cheat. Not someone I'd do business with.

I invoke a Higher Power here.


And I don't answer questions that are worded in that way.
