Poll question: If you were stuck in a trap, could you chew off your leg to get free?
If you knew you'd be killed once the trapper arrived?

then when he let me loose, I'd attack!

6. Yes, I would
I'm frankly surprised at all the people who voted to just accept the situation and do nothing.

7. Let me pull most your teeth then see how you do....
I said "no" because I don't have enough good teeth left to do it.

The question was "COULD you chew your leg off" not WOULD you.

Frankly, I'd rather chew the trapper's nuts off and leave him.

8. That still leaves you in the trap though.
Not acceptable under any circumstances. See my results in the "What Goddess Are You?" thread.

No I'd find some way to get out of that trap. Period.

9. Man... it MUST be late.
I said I could NOT chew my leg off. It's a fuckin' PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY!

NO DAMN TEETH! No molars to crunch though the bone!

Capisch?

10. So?
I understood you. Didn't you ever hear of a saw? There's ways around that. No teeth means getting creative.

Suppose a wolf happened by and you offered him a meal of your foot in exchange for your freedom?

12. And suppose Jesus just happened to wander by....
Serves me right for not seeing this as one of those "how many angels can hold a circle-jerk in an acorn cup" posts....

So if there's friendly wolves wandering by and tools laying at hand, then why wouln't I take the gun that was laying there, shoot the trapper, then wish real hard for a pry-jack to appear to open the trap with.
