Ok Since #5 ended up a lot more lopsided than I thought, here's probably a better one that might spur more discussion.

Situation (directly from a real situation posted on another forum I frequent):
You walk into a Gamestop store, to pick up Rock Band (full set, with all instruments, retail $160) for the 360 and Okami ($40 retail) for the Wii. You take them up to the register, and the cashier gives the total: $86. What do you do?

Do they ignore parts of reality?

It take the items at the price rung up. This teaches both the clerk and the store a valuable lesson in quality control.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
