A perennial bestseller that begins with a warning: Proceed with caution. This book is only for those with a twisted imagination. Be prepared to leave conventional thought behind and join the ranks of the demented and insane.

Previously published as Would You Rather. . .?, with 356,000 copies in print, Damned If You Do. . . is an addictive game in a book that challenges readers to ask – and attempt to answer – more than 400 questions that range from the heinous to the nauseating to the downright disturbing. Each is a field-tested conversation starter guaranteed to provoke ridiculous fun, break the ice at any party, and, like some kind of sick Rorschach test, open a unique window into the minds of friends and family.

Some questions delight in their own grossness: Would you rather . . . Eat three earthworms – OR – wear a necklace made of them on your wedding day? Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs – OR – three fat men with bad breath?

Some force you to reveal values: Would you rather . . . Age only from the neck up – OR – age only from the neck down? Be stupid and rich – OR – smart and poor?

Some create that squirming sensation: Would you rather . . . Get a bad case of poison ivy way up inside your nose – OR – inside your inner ear?

And some are just deliciously absurd. Each question also features related, often off-the-wall information, from quotes to dumb jokes to delightfully odd trivia (326-pound President William Howard Taft once got stuck in the White House bathroom).
