Ever wonder how long it takes people to come up with their "witty" poll options?

    I do! There's no such thing as a simple yes/no/other [which is what polls are for really!]. There has to be attempts at witty remarks to convery this! Well I'm just sick of it!!

    O' please This is AH.

    Don't take it all so serious.

    A witty remark is a hell of a lot better than just yes and no. If you don't like the poll options then just don't vote. I think you're taking after hours way too seriously.

    Relax would ye, I'm not actually "oh so annoyed that I can't sleep" over it. It was more of a tongue in cheek observation that it clearly takes ages to come up with some options, unless I've just never encountered such naturally funny people.

    I think you should set up a poll on how long it takes
    Witty titles only

    Fair enough. :)

    I get more laughs out of AH in one night sometimes than I do having been forced to sit through some Irish comedians (..but that's another story).

    If anything is above the mundane "yes" or "no" - who's to knock it in all honesty?
    I can't. I'm just as big a plonker as the next guy! :pac:

    Yes I also enjoy laughing at some things I read on AH [and elsewhere on Boards, sometimes the issues in PI!] but I sometimes question the attitude of some people. I'm all for fun and games but sometimes the manner in which people speak [or type I suppose] disappoints me! But that's another thread I shpose! :)

    I'm disappointed with the poll options.

    I answered "no" though as it doesn't keep me awake at night.

    If you have to try then doesn't it defeat the point?

    yes.. wait.. NO?.. sh!t.. I don't know..
    You have no idea how hard it is to be a non-conformist.:(
    It should technically be easy; all you have to do is support whatever side is losing.
    Or maybe I have it all wrong.
    Maybe non-conformists can't take sides at all.
    But if I followed a standard that would imply I was conforming..

    Fu*k it.. I give up.
    Anyone start that "abortion is awesome" thread yet?

    You forgot to put an option with some type of Atari Jaguar in-joke I haven't been paying enough attention to get.
