Mini Surgery

I remember hearing the following question:

Q: An alien comes down in a spaceship and hands you a small oblong gizmo. He tells you that it will resolve all national conflicts, cure all known diseases, and grant immortality. Do you:

  1. Present it to the President of the United States?
  2. Present it to the President of the United Nations?
  3. Find a screwdriver so you can open it and see what’s inside?

I guess we know what Russell’s answer would be.
