Mansion of Death

Dude — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:36:57 +0000

You’re in a mansion and the power is out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one. Now you see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one. Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says “Death from drowning,” another says “Death from machine guns,” and the last one says “Death from electric chair.” Then you see a big sign off to the side that says “Or stay in the mansion and starve to death.” What do you choose and still live?

Choose the door with the electric chair because if you recall, the power is out!
