Exercise #326: Pick Six
Posted 7/24/09
Roll a die* three times, to give yourself three random numbers. Got ‘em? Each number will correspond to a section below. The first number will be your choice from the first set of six, the second result will be your choice for the second set, etc. Got it? Okay, here we go.
You are at a sale of some kind (flea market, yard sale, etc) in:
1. South Wales
2. Boca Raton, Florida
3. The Bermuda Triangle
4. Atlantis
5. The Louvre
6. The Virgin Islands
You can’t pass up the sale price on what the seller claims is a magical piece of clothing:
1. Sweater of Sin
2. Shoes of Shame
3. Cap of Kindness
4. Raincoat of Riches
5. Hat of Hope
6. Underwear of Undying Love
You buy the item and try it on. As you’re walking around, checking the fit (and if it really works) you run into:
1. The policeman who gave you your first ticket
2. Your spouse
3. Your attorney
4. Your first-grade teacher
5. Your hairdresser
6. The kid who cuts your lawn
