Wink Don't do it

Interesting poll I saw in another forum and wanted to share here. Here is what you have to do:

This is harder than it looks, especially with cheese as an option!

You should've made it a public poll. (If you can do that here.), that way you can see who, exactly, has voted.

Of course, then fewer people would probably vote.

Yeah, I thought about that but came to conclusion that obviously no one would want to vote if it was public.

It's just the same as : "Do Not Read This!"

It must include "beer" as one of the options...

That's your problem...

We accept beer as a given. Though we also accept it as a form of barter currency in light of new anti-smoking legislation.

I don't even get it as a paradoxical joke, since the poll isn't a question to be answered, but just a command. So, here are my thoughts on the matter:

It seems to be an hilarious joke about people who have a driving enthusiasm to shed their 'opinion' in a poll, even if they haven't the foggiest idea concerning th central question, which in this case is nonexistant.
The question might as well be ..."Does batboy shave his legs and if so does he spread them with cheese?"
...............
I worked in a shop where we had some stairs going up, wood treads.
One of the pranksters had siver soldered a nickel onto a annular ring nail and
driven it into a dedicated hole with a block of hard wood. They used to chuckle
everytime someone wood bend over and break a fingernail trying to pick up that nickel. Hee-hee !!!

Beer AND cheese. And pickled eggs, for those important social evenings!
