Who’s first?

Interesting. Okay, I say first the assasin, then the wife, then the lover, then the boatman, then the husband. Mostly it is the wife’s fault for being in the situation. So what does this say about me?

We had this experiment in my honors class last year. IIRC, there is another version to the story, and what people think depends on the version they get?

alright, I’ll play…. I say assassian, as he really didn’t need to kill her.. then the boatman, wife, lover, then husband.

oh! And duh!!! I’m SOOO glad Lady’s ok! I totally understand being a paranoid mommy (though I have no children) I think I would worry so much too!!! Runs in the blood you see. hehee

I’d say almost right. Although my need for $$ and my desire to seek it really isn’t big in my life at all. So I certainly wouldn’t say I’d put that first… but mabye I do and I need to mediate on it.. doubt it, but I like to stay open to such things. I try to keep all thats important on an equal level playing feild, although I rarly win!! lol..

ryn: no. . . we had this same story, and then a different version of the story where instead of going to cheat on her husband the woman was going to do some service on the island. The prof gave half of us the story you have above and the other half got the version i described. We were to rate blame. The next class, he told us the two versions of the story and we discussed our answers.

it’s not really another half so much as a different version. All of the details are the same except that the reason she was going to the island was to do charity. It changes people’s answers even though the situation is the same– very interesting. My answer? I think that the only person responsible for the wife’s death was the assassin. While the others could have saved her, they didn’t kill her

I say first the assasin, then the wife, then the husband then the lover, then the boatman. *(kinda a toss up in the hubby and wife though to be honest cuz at least she tried to stop what she knew would happen. The hubby should have put his wife FIRST.)

OH!!! And I’m so glad that the little lady is doing good!!! I’m sure you are so relieved. (((huggles)))

Wow…I was pretty surprised that money is first with me, but I guess it’s actually true. Just never wanted to admit it. Cool little exercise.

ryn: not really sure what prompted that question, but I’ve always been intrested in sign language. I just always thought it was cool. Can’t really pin point why, but its come in handy! Loud concerts for example, crowded bars, talking through a window…. all sorts of places where its nice to know!

i run into that problem every time i ask a cabbie to stop @ an atm

it was your EXXXtremely cynical,bordering on sarcasm, note on someone’s diary that made me turn and look at the satisfaction you derive out of belitteling others,and the noise your insides make about others’ misfortune..anyway i would say the “traditions&customs” of that society are to blame:sick society

The wife would be number 1, followed by the assassin, then the lover, then the husband and finally the boatman. Glad to hear everything is went well with the tests

OK…I say #1. wife-she shouldn’t have been at a lovers across the bridge. #2. assassian- plain and simple he had the knife and done the crime. #3. lover- if she is good enough to have an affair with she should at least be worth 50 cents. #4. boatman- what happened to kind acts. (Hardly any one believes in them nowadays.) #5. I don’t really want to put any blame her but you said in what order and

so I have to put the husband here. He didn’t ask for his wife to go runnin around cheatin even if he wasn’t giving her the full attention she needed. If the wife would have been honest and concerned she should have confessed about the lover and tried to make things work if she wanted his attention if not leave.

RYN:i must beg your pardon for the harsh note above,and i must express my surprise at the cool you exhibit in your note..addiction..THIQ..i disagree with that theory,and it is not proven in humans,only rats..i feel it was the flawed perceptions/desires that lead to overindulgence,that lead to obsessive compulsion for drugs..

AND

the 25% genetically predisposed to “addiction” are the 25% who are born with the ability to GET DONE,WHATEVER THEY PUT THIER MIND TO,WITH TOTAL DISREGARD TO ANY AND ALL BARRIERS(social,moral,medical,legal)only the misguided ABUSE of god-given abilities makes them addicts..if rehabilitated through the spiritual modality,they always become better than the average nonaddict/www.alchemyproject.net

1. husband, 2. wife, 3. lover, 4. boatman, 5. assassian

RYN: I watched the show last night and it just made me feel sad. Yeah…that guy in the bar was an ass, but pretty typical of the way alot of people think.

THIQ,tetrahydroiodoquinoline presence in the brains of mice has been proved,that evidence has been used to “infer”/speculate that such a chemical may be formed in the skulls of wet-brains too.however this is just a theory..not a proven principle for human biology..just the time old attempt of man to find fault with the tools,instead of the craftman.

RYN: that is pretty much how I see my life. Fun is defiantely the most important thing, and money. That was pretty accurate. Thanks heaps for that!

The assassin, the lover, the wife, the husband, the boatman.

I’ve just read more entries and I’m really happy for you that your little lady is ok. I cannot even imagine that kind of stress.

Great, I’m greedy and a nympho.

This is highly interesting. I might conjecture assassin, wife, lover, husband, boatman, but not for the reasons one might expect. It has nothing to do with the wife’s morals. The wife made a conscious decision to run. The lover was simply being callous. The husband may be a horrid person or have practical reasons for not taking her. To the boatman, the relationship was purely professional.

THE ASSASSIAN, WIFE, HUSBAND, LOVER, AND BOATMAN. WHA3T DOES THIS MEAN ABOUT ME?

assassin,wife,lover, boatman, husband

Ha! I got this one! Ready? The wife is first, the husband second. Mr. Lover would be third and the boatman (damn him for doing his job!)is fourth. The assassian (37 times?!?!?) is the last to be responsible. Sooo, what does that say about me?

Close, very close. I would have inverted two. Cool.

((random)) i have my own theory and i’m interested to hear what you have to say about. it’s the husband’s fault. i think he knew about the wife and the lover’s affair so he hired the assasin to kill the wife. now. what’s that say about my life?

oh, duh. i have to do the order…sorry forgot. husband the wife (because she should have known better than to have an affair with a man right across the bridge from her own house) lover (because he should have known better than to have an affair with a married woman) boatman (he should have found it in the kindness of his heart to break policy) the assasin (for obvious reasons)

RYN: really? i was the first to think about who hired the assasin? weird. i probably over-analyzed the whole thing but that’s what i tend to do. and no, not close. my career really doesn’t matter to me. to me, it’s just a job i have to do to get money to live. i’d say my order is this: fun, sex (i’m a highly sexual virgin), money, career, magic (not sure i believe). but it was fun to think about.

No buddy Except Wife himself !!!!!!!!!! her Fault to chose that kind of ppl around her (don’t think ppl u never understand that what i am trying to say so don’t try to)

I love these thinga!! I’d say the assassin first. Then the boatman, then the lover then the wife then the husband (unless he paid the assassin?) What does all this say about me?

I remember seeing this once years ago. Though in that it just asked who killed the woman and the answer was her husband. He left something at the house and watched as she went to her lover. The guy was filled with rage and decided to end her life.. which he did. Another version said that the assassin was the lover and the boatman was the husband. All about love and betrayal.

The assassian, the wife, the lover, the boatman, the husband. What does this mean about me? (Very interesting. I thought this was going to be another joke, but no.)

I came across your diary through random, but looked at this entry, so I’m going to particpate… The assian, the wife, the love, the husband, the boatman..

The wife first, then the assasin, then the husband, then the lover last the boatsman. 🙂

I wouldn’t have expected money to be number two, but otherwise, yeah, it does fit pretty well!

I had to do this in a college class once. So wild to see it here… I forgot what order I put everything in… I am going off of my gut here… The wife, the assasin, the the lover, the boatman, and finally the husband although I can’t really place any blame on him whatsoever…. I can’t wait to see what this says about me…

I would have to say first the wife cuz she got herself in the sit. hus. cuz he obviously hired the assasin,then ass. then lover cuz he didnt care to help her then boatman cuz he refused to help her. so what does that say about me?

ok i read the first one and the last one on the list

the wife for being a slut,the husband for not caring enough about his wife, the lover for not sticking it too her right the assian for killing her because that his job

stumbling across this: hummmmm wife, husband, lover, boatman, asassain. not sure if i want it this way but in a bit of a hurry.
