something about which to think

Gosh, that correct grammar stuff really sounds odd some times.

Sunday Rebecca and Jason dropped by, and after half a day's mischief and computer maintenance we popped into Fuddrucker's for dinner. The large burger was good and the free cheese-food sauce was a nice bonus, but the conversation was really what mattered.

Of course that was two days ago and most of that which I meant to write I've forgotten. One thing that does stick out, though, was Jason's character-judging question:

(Allow me to paraphrase, or rather the opposite of paraphrasing)

Say you've got this bunch of ants. You know, like a herd of ants, or something like that. Lots of ants. And they're in your house. Would you rather kill them all with a bug bomb (that would kill them all) or somehow combine them all together into one giant ant that you could shoot with a shotgun?

I mulled it over, and chose shotgun (well, I was actually in the backseat for most of the driving around). I figured I'd rather be able to make sure that the one single one was dead, instead of needing to check every little one.

You know, to make sure it was over. And if nothing else I could kick the damn thing too.

This has nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to post something the day it was supposed to be posted, you know?

So which would you pick? The tiny ants and the bomb or the one big ant and the shotgun?
