Question for December 14, 2000 - January 27, 2001:

Which would you rather be trapped in a dumpster with...

Nasty, decaying garbage

OR

An Anteater

 

Details:

  • This question is the result of random thinking.
  • The dumpster is shut up and you can't open it. Trust me.
  • You can assume that the garbage is in plastic bags, but not everyone uses hefty. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
  • If you choose the anteater, the dumpster is clean, but I bet anteaters (a.k.a. aardvarks) aren't as much fun as you'd think. And it's awfully tight in there.
  • Although I don't put a time limit on these things, you can assume you're not going to be in there until you die.

RESULTS:

An Anteater: 6
Nasty, decaying garbage: 1


Name: Cleophus T Jenkins(Taylor)
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: I would probably just stare at the ant-eater until I freaked it out and it stuck it's head in the corner to escape my ominous stare. At that point I could take one of my jackets off(because it's cold, I'm wearing two) and use it as a pillow to rest my head on until someone comes and discovers me in the dumpster. Since I scared the ant-eater he wouldn't ever know that I wasn't staring at him so he'd keep his head in the corner(in shame) the whole time, not bothering me. Garbage stinks really bad(like a person I know) so I couldn't put up with that for very long. Plus I'm a clean person and take showers every day(unlike some people), so i wouldn't like wallowing in the filthy decaying garbage.


Name: Allison
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: The smell of nasty, decaying garbage makes me want to throw up. I've never been in close proximity of an anteater, but I don't think one would make me throw up. If it did, that would have to be one offensive anteater.


Name: Jess
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: Anything is better than being in garbage. Plus being with an anteater probably would not make me ill, which the nasty garbage would do.


Name: mrs. kyzer
Choice:
Garbage
Comments: jean types down what Mom says: "hmm..i don't think i'd like the yucky garbage, but then it wouldn't hurt me. The anteater might bite me, so i would need to find out if the anteater had teeth. So i gyess you would get used to the smell, and the garbage might be soft so you could sleep...how long would you have to stay in there? i don't know, i'm leaning toward the garbage."


Name: jean
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: just to be contradictory towards my Mom, i've been practicing that since i was a pre-teen and can't stand to give it up, even for a hypotehtical question that might kill/harm me.


Name: Ryan H
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: I don't think that I could take the smell, and I have in on high authority that anteaters are pretty cool


Name: tj cook
Choice:
Anteater
Comments: You can kill the anteater, but the garbage; well, it's already dead... and decaying!

Okay, maybe I shouldn't kill the little guy, but if you're good like the Croc Hunter, then you could control it or something, maybe make friends with it and talk about world issues
