Hypothetical: Which induces more sadness in you?

[Rain Man]

Scenario A: You're at the airport and you buy a $2 bag of M&Ms. You may assume that it's your favorite type: peanut, plain, whatever. You find a seat near your gate and hang out, langorously enjoying your snack. After a good fifteen minutes of enjoyment, you think you're out of M&Ms but then you squeeze the bag and discover that there's one more M&M that was caught down near the seam. You tip the bag to get at it, but it takes a crazy football follies bounce and you fumble it, and it hits the dirty airport floor where only moments earlier an immigrant woman was changing her colicky child's diaper. The five-second rule is null and void in this case.


Scenario B: You read in the newspaper that a torrential rain caused a mudslide on a hill on the outskirts of Iquitos, Peru. The mudslide buried a slum that was built halfway up the hill, killing 274 impoverished Peruvians.

[loochy]

Scenario A. I'm not gonna lie.

[Rain Man]

Sadly, one of these just happened. Maybe both, but I haven't checked the news yet.

[The Franchise]

Scenario A. I'm fat and fuck Peru.

[Donger]

Are the Peruvians available for consumption?

[The Franchise]

Only 274 people really isn't going to tug on my heart strings. Make that a cool 5,000 and I maybe stop caring about my lost M&M for a moment.

You were blithely munching chocolate within a football follies M&M bounce of a colicky baby's diaper?

[StcChief]

said for Peruvians... M&M's still depend on hunger level.

This answer from my wife -

Scenario C - That fucking website implodes, taking you and all these other morons with it! (she still went with scenario A)

[cdcox]

Whew, I saw the word "sadness" I was all but certain that one of the scenarios was going to involve Herm Edwards coaching beyond 2009.

[Mr Luzcious]

B. A (and situations like it) has happened so many times that I've grown desensitized.

[Basileus777]

D. One lost M&M isn't enough to upset me.

[88TG88]

Growing up on the streets has desensitized me completely. I feel nothing for anybody.

[CrazyPhuD]

What flavor are the peruvians? Peanut or regular?

[luv]

Your wife is the best.

I don't know that either would make me cry. If I chose one, probably B.

[Hydrae]

You saw an immigrant woman changing her colicky child's diaper just before your last M&M landed on the floor in the same spot? Weird

Sounds like my wife: "I wish that stupid site would shut down, all you do is look at it and laugh like a dumbazz all the time."

[Saulbadguy]

If anything, i'd probably laugh at the dumbasses who live in Peru, near a mountain/hill with obvious mudslide implications.

However, the M&M thing would make me say "aww shucks" , but could lead to another M&M purchase. This time I would mix it up though, and go with a different flavor. I'd start off with peanut (favorite) but may choose peanut butter next time, or almond, if they had those. Or perhaps the new "premium" M&M's, they are a bit more expensive but I imagine they are quite tasty.

[Hammock Parties]

I'd just go buy another bag of M&Ms if I was that sad.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Scenario B:

How exactly am I going to get my 5-Star cocaine produced when all my workers are dead?

[RJ]

I go grab another bag of peanut M&M's and get back to that article about Peru in my USA Today, generally oblivious to all the pain around me - but not before throwing an annoyed glance at the immigrant woman who can't keep her colicky child from crying. Seriously, people with small children should avoid public places.

[BucEyedPea]

Labor induces more sadness me. :(

[Bugeater]

I'd eat the M&M anyway.

[kcfanintitanhell]

Unless, unless.....the mudslide in Peru turned out to be a glorious Wonka-esque Chocolate Mudslide!!! And all those Peruvians,after it settled came out covered in chocolate, and none the worse for it.






And then went back to their day gigs, manufacturing primo chunks of rock cocaine.

[Ebolapox]

Are the Peruvians available for consumption?

a somewhat modest proposal.

[tyton75]

Was it a villiage of Peruvian Models... along with their Female Volleyball team academy??

if so.. the mudslide would be much worse

[Rausch]

I don't really give a fart out a frog's ass about M&M's or Peruvians.

Now, you take these away from me and I'll go Hitler on yo shizzle for rizzle...

[seclark]

it'd depend on what color the m&m was that dropped next to the crapped up diaper.
i never eat the green or brown ones. don't care for the taste.
sec

[Rain Man]

This poll is running neck and neck. I had no idea at all how it would turn out.

[Fish]

Were the impoverished Peruvian women topless all the time? That may affect the decision.....

[kepp]

Aren't M&Ms made in Peru?

[tooge]

Need more info. What color is the M&M?

[Thig Lyfe]

Having lived with Peruvians in the past, I can confidently go with Scenario A.
