What would you do?

Everyone has random, sometimes weird thoughts. Most people shove them aside and focus on real life. Few actually act out on these bizarre thoughts but what if you could act out on these sometimes forbidden thoughts? What if there were no repercussions for your actions on these sometimes dangerous thoughts? What would you do?

I know for one thing I'd never go as far as wanting to see what it felt like to be shot somewhere in my body or stabbed somewhere either. Robbing a bank for the pure adrenaline rush might make my list but I'd probably end up vomiting on someone, thus ruining my perfectly executed heist.

Other random thoughts include running a car through a large plate glass window late at night, backing out and leaving a witty apology note which appears to be written by a well-known elected official.

Of course being given permission to break someone's arm would be interesting (do I have the strength for a nice, clean break) but having broke my small toe three separate times, broken bones aren't my cup of tea so this one's likely off my list as well.

I would like to build a catapult and try launching someone across a river but haven't the Mythbusters already done that?

Maybe all the good, random ideas have already been done but I have to wonder how random and reckless my readers are. Would you gun down that neighbor you despise? Laxative brownies anyone? Spill your most bizarre thought that you would follow though with if there were no repercussions.

I think I'd rather be launched in the catapult than do the launching. It'd be like one of those flying dreams, for a few seconds anyway.

You know, I think my stuff is a bit more mundane. I'd do something like jaunt off to Europe and live all over the place over there for a few years. Out of touch with everyone I know, or ever did know.

This isn't particularly weird but I'd love to speak my mind and tell the truth as to what I'm really thinking in some of those social situations where society dictates that you don't do such a thing - that you behave and play by "the rules."
But if there were no repercussions? I'd have a great time!

I'd streak through my workplace naked...

I'd run over people in the crosswalks.

I think Ginormous Boobs wins because mowing down pedestrians is both cruel and entertaining. I also like the idea of streaking through one's workplace. Oh, hell, they're all great ideas!
