Dilemma 4/17/09
Torture will give a dozen pence or more
To keep a drab from bawling at his door.
The public taste is quite a different thing-
Torture is positively paid to sing.
--Hilaire Belloc
You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?
1. You are forced to torture a good friend to his or her breaking point.
2. You are tortured to your breaking point.

Hmm. Prevent #2 and hope the friend in #1 has a low breaking point:
Me: *gives friend a papercut*
Friend: "owwww! ok, ok, I'll tell!"
;-)
Seriously, though, I'd be willing to endure scenario #2, presuming I had something of great importance to keep secret. I think scenario #1 is actually the more difficult scenario.
I'd prevent #2 and give Theryn a papercut ;)
