What would you do if you saw the impossible??

As it seems unrelated to anything categorized already, I'll drop this here and see where it goes.

One of my favorite things to do is ask questions to see how people would react in oddball situations. This is one of my all time favorites:

You're driving along a familiar stretch of road with trees on either side. Nobody else is around in sight at the moment. A cockroach the size of a deer scuttles across the road in front of you and disappears into the trees. What do you do?

You can't speculate on the reality of the question, meaning you can't say "it can't happen" or anything. Taken at face value, if you encountered this situation, what would you do?


My answer: Freak out cuz it's a roach and I can't stand them. Freak out cuz it's a HUGE roach and that's just nuts! Finally, go get someone pronto and go back with my gun to try and find it! *L*

Sounds like one of ILP weekly questions. I think id piss my pants if a giant cockroach ran across the road.

And you think that I would get out of the car, why?

What is ILP weekly question?

*drooling at the thought of a site or ongoing thread of this nature*

I love the weird stuff! *L*

ILovePizza had a weekly question...there was a few like this.

Why did ILP get banned? Anyone know? I was a away when satry and blade runner and the Big C got banned.

I'd probably faint, crash the car and end up being booked by the cops for dangerous driving. There is no way they'd believe me !

pull out the biggest gun i could find in the car, a bunch of ammo, gernades, night vision, and go huntn.....then id eat it when id kill it and accidently get posioned...and the worst part: it would be over cooked

I have seen the impossible....... Tampa Bay winning the Stanley Cup. What did I do? I enjoyed every game.

Don't know, haven't tried inline. Rollerskating really sucked. On ice........bring it on. I'm a defenceman, you wouldn't get close to my netminder, well, you might, but you'd have fewer teeth. Yeah, I know 2 min.s for something.

I'd get out of the car quickly and run after the bugger with my digital camera.

Or I'd just stop, say "Holy cr*p!", and then carry on.

Depends if I'm sober or stoned.

I would probably just sit there and stare in amazement.

After the initial shock wore off I dunno what I would do next.

I would probably do the same thing as I did when the aliens ran across the road in front of me last week......Just keep driving and tell myself that I didn't just see that....that worked for about a min and one of the little buggers shot my tires out with it's damn ray gun and ran off into the woods laughing.

Grab the SKS out the back of the car and go roach hunting IF that doesnt work bust out the industrial sized can of raid and WHOOP ASS!

When I very first thought about this one.... on my way to graveyard shift one night, of course.... I thought about the "Freak, Freak, Hunt" approach, it occurred to me that they always say "If you see one, there are hundreds more" about roaches. The thought of barrelling out into the woods with a gun to hunt one while hundreds more maybe hunt ME made me think that I might take "I See You"'s approach and deny the whole thing! *L*

first you tell me whats impossible, and i'll tell you how i'll react...
