You are in a castle that may or may not be haunted. Let's say you are going to a wedding for a friend of your significant other's and when you arrive at the seaside town where the wedding is you find out the hotel is oversold, but they offer you this castle to stay in. It's you, your significant other, and three other couples who you all know from college or high school or something like that. When you arrive at the castle you are shocked to find that it is by far the nicest place you have ever stayed. There are butlers, the sheets are 5000 thread count. The rooms are actually suites large enough to require. intercoms between the various parts. There is a pool, complimentary massages each morning. You have through this weird twist of fate hit the jackpot compared to everyone else that is staying at a standard, Gideon's Bible Hotel. The one fact is that according to legend in 1835 Samuel Spring accidently killed his daughter Lucy in the castle on Christmas Morning and ever since then there have been silly accidents that have befallen people that have stayed in the castle. in 1917 Robert Dexter choked on chicken soup. In 1943 Muriel Walker slipped on a carpet and broke her neck. In 1957 while staying in town to run the Pine Coast Marathon, Ken Adams a healthy 29 year old marathoner had a heart attack while resting in bed the day before the race. You know all of this because the main family restaurant in town where you grabbed a late lunch has this printed on their menus. So here is my question when the hotel tells you that is where you are going to stay how do you react?

1. You say absolutely not and explode in the innkeepers face.
2. You are so excited that you cannot wait to get to the castle.
3. You accept that this is how it is going to be, but you know you will not sleep soundly until you are on your flight back home.
4. You start yelling anti-semetic insults at the hotel manager

Here is what I think this says about you.

1. You have no T-shirts over five years old.
2. In your glass cabinet you definitely have more than one pint glass that has been "lifted" from a bar
3. Your Brita filter never goes over the expected use time period.
4. You are drunk Mel Gibson
