Would you rather ---- ? (Game)
It's been quite a while since we did this game so thought I'd bring it up again. The object is to ask "Would you rather do "X" or "Z"?" The next person answers which they would rather do and then poses a new "Would you rather do "k" or "p"?" So I'll start with Would you rather eat little green peas or okra? Susan

When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving advice you have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn't feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings.

ARIMIDEX
