Is blood really thicker than water?

    Ok, heres the scenario. You're walking in a forest with your sister and the person in your life who you call babes. You're having a great time and the three of you are singing songs and throwing rocks at the filthy crows in the sycamore trees.

    Suddenly out of nowhere a large man with a large gun jumps down from a tree and says in a voice that sounds very much like Adam Ant.

    "Halt! Listen up and listen up good Pighead. I'm going to kidnap one of the two girls that stand here beside you and there is a chance that you may never see her again. I realise this is a horrible thing to hear so as to make it more bearable I'm going to let you decide which one I take"

    It's at this stage that Pighead's brain starts buzzing with confusion and terror. What a horrible choice to make. Give up the girl who you have shared a bed with for most of your adult life or give up the girl you met four years ago who made you the happiest Pighead in the world by agreeing to become your girlfriend.

    Unfortunately one of the girls has to be given up as the large bloke with the large hands has since informed you that he is invincible and there is nothing in the world that can stop him taking one of your girls. Just Pigheads luck that this bloke turned out to be invincible. Looks like one of the girls is going to have to be sacrificed.

    To be honest Pighead would have to say he'd reluctantly give up his sister. Nothing personal against the girl as she's a great lassie but time and circumstances have dictated that she has falling down the pecking order of loved ones in Pighead's life. sounds harsh but thats the kind of world we live in. A world where water is sometimes thicker than blood.

    So who would you give up?

    Sister, no question about it. Harsh as it sounds but I see her far less and wouldn't miss her anywhere near as much.

    You're in a band with your sister and significant other called The Followers and you are scoping out locations for a video shoot for your catchy new single Forest Followers. Not sure how this is going to affect your answer but there you have it. By the way your sister is the drummer and your significant other plays bass. They're both average obviously.

    I never bring my girlfriend and my sister out on a walk together, just in case one dips me in the sh!t about something.

    But hypothetically speaking I would probably save my sis.

    Spot on. Pighead's kind of surprised that a few people have voted to give up their loved one rather than their sister. Must not be in very fulfilling relationships.

    Very judgmental last sentence there, Pighead. Who are you to say that they aren't in fulfulling relationships? It's a very hard choice you've given people and choosing either option is perfectly understandable.

    I chose both. That way it gets rid of them from the band, leaving those places open for me to fill with Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus.

    I told you it was influential to my decision!

    How is it mental? Lying naked, holding hands, looking at each others bits , talking about flowers and puppy dogs is probably the closest connection you will probably ever have with another human being. Nothing you ever do with your sister can compare. All that connects you and your sister is blood but there are plenty of other liquids that connect you and your loved one.

    Yeah, but you can find another young lady to hold hands with and lovingly gaze at each others bits.
    You'll only ever have that one sister to reminisce fondly with about the psychological torture your parents put you both through.
    For shame Pighead, for shame.

    Pighead would be pretty ok with the fact that nobody would ever find out about the trauma of his Papa putting him in a pink dress and pigtails and making him pretend his name was Sarah-Lou.

    Does that mean you're a partial retard?

    Anyway whats wrong with calling your loved one babes? It's a perfectly acceptable form of showing affection to the lady in your life.

    What pet name do you use for your lady-friend hotshot?

    Or maybe you don't have a lady-friend. Ever wondered why not? Could it be because you refused to call them babes? Could it be that you are emotionally stunted?

    Listen TheRealist, there is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping it real but sometimes you have to let a bit of fantasy into your life as well. Go outside and call the first girl you meet babes, even if she's ugly. You'll both feel much better for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    Give up the sister.

    And ask if they want the other sisters as well....

    I call her by her name. Maybe your other half has a ridiculous name? Or is it short for something? Or is she actually a baby?

    Pighead puts it to you that you are a woeful lover. You lack spontaneity and you are about as romantic as a trout.

    Mrs Realist: Come over here hot-stuff and let me show you what I bought in Ann Summers this afternoon.
    Mr Realist: I'll be over in a minute Grainne. I'm just finishing off the Evening Herald crossword.
    Mrs Realist (Walks up to Mr Realist and whispers breathlessly in his ear): Heres a clue for you my big hairy man of sex. Three letters- What I want to have with you right now on the table.
    Mr Realist: Tea? Too early Grainne. You know I have my Tea at 6pm on the dot.
    Now put on some clothes woman. You'll catch your death.

    You also wear old grey woolly socks and a vest in bed whilst making love. Even in the summer.

    Anyway back on topic, Pighead would find it much much harder to give up his mother instead of his girlfriend. That would be a hell of a toughie. Would probably end up saying Au Revoir to Miss Piggy in that situation. Would be with a heavy heart though.
