How do you choose between two totally unacceptable choices?

Do you have an example to illustrate?

This is an extreme and silly example, but it illustrates the question.

You’re in a life raft with your parents, and it’s sinking because there is one person too many in it. You have to stay aboard for some reason I can’t think of now, so ONE of your parents are going to be tossed overboard. How would you choose which one?

I don’t want that question answered, I’m just illustrating what I mean by two unacceptable choices.

Yours are probably not going to be as extreme. Maybe.

Adapted from Thomas Hardy’s novel, this charming tale follows schoolteacher Fancy Day (Keeley Hawes), who returns to the bucolic English hamlet of Melstock to look after her ailing father. To no one’s surprise, three disparate suitors: blue-collar bloke Dick Dewy (James Murray), crass but wealthy landowner Mr. Shiner (Steve Pemberton) and the ambitious Parson Maybold (Ben Miles) are soon courting the young beauty. Which man will she choose?

With a gun to my head, I wouldn’t have watched this thing in my pre-handicapped days.

But…I’m going to today.

...to be continued…

Is there stuff you’d just rather not know? (Even if maybe you should?)

Have you ever asked a question, then, afterward, you’re sorry you got an answer?
