Choose Your Own Affirmation

So, I was sitting in an airport the other day thinking about how much less tedious air travel would be if it were more like one of those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books you read as a kid. Go ahead and admit it, you loved those too. I mean, imagine stepping on the plane and being given the option of seat 16A or 23F, not knowing which choice will take you safely home and which will open up a vortex. Add a little spice to your flight.



OK, so really that's an awful idea because you know that in those books you never get home safe. The plane would always be taken over by ninjas or you'd be spirited away to another dimension by a furry purple alien who opened up that stupid vortex in 23E. It doesn't matter which because you're probably gonna end up dead either way...really, people have studied this (Map 1 , Map2) you've got something like a 29.7% chance of the story ending well...which sucks.That was the only downfall of these books. They really just taught me that I always make bad decisions and am better off cheating and skipping to page 55 if I want to make it through life.

If only there was a way to provide people with the excitement of not knowing what's next without the crushing blow of dying all the time. Well, since I don't have time to write a book i'll just let you choose your own affirmation today in the manner of CYOA:

There is a knock at the door and you open it to reveal a clown and a referee waiting on your stoop. The clown promptly challenges you to a game of rock, paper, scissors and the referee immediately starts counting down ...1...2...3...
if you choose Rock turn to link #17
if you choose Paper turn to link #32
if you choose Scissors turn to link #3
(course none of them have anything to do with the story)

Have a blessed day
