Exercise #661: Pick Six
Posted 3/11/16
Roll a die three times, to give yourself three random numbers from 1 to 6. Got 'em? Each number will correspond to a section below. The first number will be your choice from the first set of six below, the second result will be your choice for the second set below, etc. Got it? Okay, here we go.
You are having an important conversation with:
1. your spouse
2. your adolescent child
3. your banker
4. a police officer
5. your boss
6. a doctor
about:
1. a raise.
2. an illness.
3. having another child.
4. a loan.
5. a ticket.
6. a broken window.
You ask your question or make your definitive statement and the person you’re talking to says:
1. “The removal did not appear to affect the magic.”
2. “Modeling is done and Baker is cool in the shower.”
3. “Beautiful but deadly.”
4. “I will try an ecotic fruit I haven't tried before.” (Typo is on purpose but you can change it if you like.)
5. “One day can bend your life.”
6. “60% awesome.”
Got it? Put them all together and tell us a tale. Remember to let us know what your choices were.
