Dark Alley Poll Results

For posterity.

In the poll, "Whom would you be most nervous to encounter in a dark alley?" the results were as follows:

4 Mike Tyson
0 Sylvester Stallone
0 Arnold Schwarzenegger
0 Al Pacino (Just now recognized the spelling error)
4 An Attorney

In the spirit of law school final exams (which, by the way are the only exams), we will now undergo a highly polished, intellectual, and detailed analysis of the results (did I mention it will have a 150 word limit which no one will read one word past?).

*This is all assuming none of you cheated and voted more than once, which, knowing some of you, I admit, is a rather rash assumption*

What this tells me is that you are all very wise and practical.  Sure, Sly, the Governator, and Scarface are all scary on the silver screen, but in real life, they either wear 10-inch platforms, have shrunk into politics, or are 70 (which isn't to say senior citizens can't necessarily pack a punch - remember the athletic dad from Seinfeld?).

What it also tells me is that half of you are realists:  you're afraid of physical pain (getting your ear bit off in a dark alley).

The rest of you are cynics:  you're afraid of reality (attorneys).

But don't worry, in the Millennium/afterlife you won't have to worry about either of these.  If I'm wrong, I owe you a Coke.
