I was just reminded
The other night (whilst terribly drunk) i was ringing people on the local student telephone network at 4am and telling them (in an indian and /or scottish accent) they have a 50/50 chance of winning £1000 if they can simply answer a question as they were live on air.

If they foolishly believed me, i would then ask them the 'question'

Which was basically

" If you had to choose between one, would you rather A) have an old man whistle into their open mouth for one hour or B) have a dog bark up their arsehole for half an hour"

I think most people hung up, but every third person or so would take me seriously up until i told them the question.
Apart from the one berk who sounded like he really believed and answered B.

Sorry people.

You are weird.
I like this.

Is the pair of options presented a reference to a film/song/book?

Or are they just funny/surreal things that only a twunt would actually seriously weigh up?

I would answer this question
if someone called me up whether I believed I'd win a prize or not.

The answer is B, by the way.

Yes...
It would have to be "B".

For me
it would depend on the size and anger of the dog. if there was any chance of losing my man bag over the incident i'd go with the whistling old man. but only if he'd had a go with some mouthwash first.

Having had time to think...
It would be the dog, and I would give it mouthwash.

Most people choose B) y'know
Strange fact of life.

Several reasons for that:
1/ A dog cannot judge you: In fact, it will probably be glad of the attention - That said, so might the old man.

2/ Timing: I'd find it less of a hassle to stand in front of something annoying for 30m, than to stand facing something annoying for 60m.

3/ Hygiene: Whistling will probably throw tiny droplets of saliva right into your open mouth, which could carry any number of human pathogens right into a mucous membrane. The dog would, in theory, only face ordinary skin, lowering the risk of contacting any infection.

Or have I over-thought this?
