Poll: Settle a silly argument for me, Escapists.

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'm having a silly argument, and would like your opinion on the matter. See the poll for (a lack of) details.

I'm not giving any details as to how or why these two things happened (they did happen), in order to keep my personal bias out of it. Suffice to say that neither were the result of a bet, dare, or anything similar.

In a lame attempt to get at least some for of discussion out of this thread: Feel free to share your own pointless misadventures with the rest.

Now I know that I would do that to stay afloat. Possibly even shove a couple more down there for good measure too.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

WAIT.

By pants, do you mean underpants or trousers?

 

[DanielPowell33]

Does the ping-pong balls in the pants thing work?

 

[JacOak]

I'm saying the ping-pong flotation device. At least nobody dies in the process of making me laugh in that one. Also, who wouldn't want something awesomely funny in their chest hair?

 

[Emperor Inferno]

The first option, because the second one actually sounds like fun.

 

[Ciarang]

Shaving figures in your chest hair. The second one actually sounds useful, and quite fun!

 

[DuplicateValue]

Does the ping-pong balls in the pants thing work?

That's all I'm still here to find out.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Your telling me that the ping-pong ball idea works?

Anyway the chest hair thing is worse, more permanent and less likely to be able to say "Well it sounded like a good idea at the time!"

 

[Darth Pope]

I tripped over my own hand once...

 

[Hobo Joe]

Shaving, that ping pong idea, were it to work seems absolutely hilarious to be honest with you

 

[Robert632]

the chets one, as the ping pong ball would actually serve a purpuse.

 

[T-Bone24]

I tripped over my own hand once...

I kicked myself in the thumb once. Don't ask me how.

EDIT: Then fell over.

 

[Calobi]

If the OP doesn't post whether the ping-pong thing works, I will be forced to try it myself. And it is getting cold where I live and I already have the flu. Please, OP, don't make me do it.

 

[nonl33t m4st3r]

Shaving is stupider, because if you screw up, you either keep it there, or shave your whole chest. Screw up on the ping pong ball idea, and you have your pants, and a shard of dignity.

 

[Mozared]

The shaving one. The ping pong thing is something mythbusters would do, that's just awesome.

 

[FalloutJack]

The ping-pong balls idea sounds hilarious, so it cannot be stupid by default.

 

[Peachfuzz1000]

as silly as the ping pong balls thing sounds, if it works, its not stupid at all leavning me with the chest hair option really

how knows, one day you may be on a boat that is sinking and there isnt enough life rings/boats to keep you affloat till your rescued. but lucky for you this boat is shipping ping pong balls from china! now thats both quick thinking and (if it worked for you =p) lifesaving!

 

[Sewer Rat]

They're both pretty stupid... Can't choose so I'll just go with the cop-out answer.

 

[The Random One]

Um, there is a mistake in your thread. It seems to imply that filling your pants with ping pong balls to stay afloat is stupid. Surely that's not the case? I was forced to choose the stupid option over the clearly awesome one.
