Weekend Assignment #183: Make up a poll for people to play with. The poll can be on any subject you want — it can be serious or funny or silly or whatever (although funny’s always, you know. Funny).

Once and for all I want to settle the ultimate question and a poll is the perfect venue. It’s anonymous, no blood will be shed and there will be peace throughout the land…I hope. This is the one that on any given day has the potential to divide us here under the Big Top:

Help us settle this once and for all. Your opinion counts.

Extra credit: Have you ever participated in a political poll?

No but I was a part of a political focus group with the San Jose Mercury News for the 1992 Presidential election. I not only had my political affiliation outed butI got my picture in the paper (very flattering I might add) and I got misquoted.
