Would You Rather

Would you rather have to spend the next year repeating the fourth grade (at your current age), or spend a month in jail for a crime you did not commit?

 

I will take repeating the fourth grade, thankyouverymuch. I could probably use some remedial math anyway, plus I could get behind recess.

 

Definitely a year in 4th grade. I have a 4th grader too, so I have a good idea of what to expect. Not pretty, but survivable. I would require a larger desk though.

I can't imagine being locked up, even for a weekend. I'd go seriously nuts.

 

hmmmmmm, depends on the jail

if minimum security i'd probably go with the month in jail.

if where the real bad boys are, give me 4th grade immediately.

 

I'm with Cindy. I sure could use some sleep ;-)

 

I would take 4th grade again. Remember recess?

 

Hmmm, I'm with Cindy too. I kind of am intrigued by seeing what other people's lives are like, so since I've done 4th grade, jail seems like kind of a curiosity to me. But yeah, I don't really want to be assaulted by meanies, so if it's THAT kind of jail, I will stick to TV glimpses, and repeat 4th grade (one of my least favorites... 1 year of my life I will never get back :evil: ).

 

I'd have to go 4th grade as well. Jail seems scary and the food is bad. At least with 4th grade, I could bring my lunch

 

Women's prison with a fist full of pardons please. lol Sorry, I just heard that idiom for the first time recently.

Otherwise, 4th grade please.

 

HAHAHAHA!! :mrgreen: I like it. I've never heard it before, either.

 

So yea, the preceding part of the idiom usually revolves around being lucky/getting lucky/scoring/etc. ... Like, 'X hockey player couldn't score if he were in a ....' :smile: I'm cognizant of my audience here, so I hope I don't offend anyone.

Among my more nerdy chores, I've been collecting idioms lately. Maybe an idiom sharing topic would be fun?

 

It would be SO much fun, but a lot of the Southernisms I know aren't necessarily fit to print, although I could censor them. I would love to hear others' idioms, though. I'm kind of nerdy that way, too.

As a kid I kept a running list of palindromes. I was up over one hundred...
