Of Hypotheticals

I have an issue with speaking hypothetically.  I only just realized that fact this evening.

My sister-in-law was browsing through a book of ours which is filled with "Would you rather . . .?" questions and with every one I found myself thinking, "Well, it depends . . ."

For example, how clean would the cat's rear be which I'd be required to "lick thoroughly"?  How angry is this Grizzly?  How did I get stranded at sea; will someone likely be looking for me?  And how far out at sea are we talking?  Could I reasonably paddle back to shore with the one paddle I would be choosing over the one flare?

All vital things to consider when making these pressing life decisions.

Apparently I have an issue with generalized thinking.
