Thweater Thursday

1. An eccentric millionaire offers to donate a very large sum to a charity of your choosing (other than you) if you’ll step, completely naked, out of a car onto a busy city street, walk four blocks through the noontime traffic, and climb back into the car. Knowing that you would be in no physical danger, would you do it?

I’d be more likely to do it in, say… anywhere but Denver, but sure. It’d be nice if “physical danger” included “featured on evening news”, however.

2. As a follow-up to the above, how would you rank the follwing in terms of relative unpleasantness — (a) a nude stroll in public, (b) being spat upon by a crowd of people, (c) being arrested for shoplifting at a crowded store, (d) begging for money in a public place.

c - shame via a choice I made of my own free will
d - shame via a situation larger than myself
b - ewww.
a - unpleasant for whom?

3. Enough unpleasantness. If you could travel back in time to meet anyone in your family’s history, who would it be?
