Damned If You Do . . .

Previously published as Would You Rather . . .?, with 356,000 copies in print, Damned If You Do . . . is an addictive game in a book that challenges readers to ask-and attempt to answer-more than 400 questions that range from the heinous to the nauseating to the downright disturbing.

Each is a field-tested conversation starter guaranteed to provoke ridiculous fun, break the ice at any party, and, like some kind of sick Rorschach test, open a unique window into the minds of friends and family. Some questions delight in their own grossness: Would you rather . . . Eat three earthworms-OR-wear a necklace made of them on your wedding day?

Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs-OR-three fat men with bad breath?

Some force you to reveal values: Would you rather . . . Age only from the neck up-OR-age only from the neck down?

Be stupid and rich-OR-smart and poor? Some create that squirming sensation: Would you rather . . . Get a bad case of poison ivy way up inside your nose-OR-inside your inner ear? And some are just deliciously absurd. Each question also features related, often off-the-wall information, from quotes to dumb jokes to delightfully odd trivia (326-pound President William Howard Taft once got stuck in the White House bathroom).
