another question

I love stuff like this... this question is from the Chuck Klosterman book "sex, drugs and cocoa puffs"

Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.
Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?

I'll tell them I saw a snake right next to them and I had to kick it so they did not get bit.

[SUP-Ronin]

No Problem at all. I would say it was for their own good, and that it was a lesson for them to may more attention to where they choose to sleep. They'd get over it. Broken ribs hurt a lot though. I had a cracked sternum and it was painful.

You had a leg crap and when you straightened your leg out you accidently kicked them in the ribs.

Thats Easy.
My Brother takes Naps on my Floor quite often,.. Even though I do not Kick him as hard as is decribed,.. I do kick him, & tell him that he's here to visit,.. & unless he wants to help pay rent,.. this is my house to sleep, not his.

Easy one. Kick him.

Even if I wasn't allowed to say anything, I'd rather the person be angry with me for the remainder of their life than let them die.

[grayhank]

Tell somebody else and have them explain it. Technically you would not be telling the friend.

[mitchedwards]

Kick them ,and then explain you tripped stepping over them

I heard this one today. Let's say you're in charge of your country and you are 100% certain that he is in a house with women and children but the only way to take him out is with a bomb that will kill everyone in the house.

Do you drop the bomb and take him out along with innocent women and children or do you let him go?

[Adam West]

I guess I should add that the he in question is Osama Bin Laden.
