	Hard prod?
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Here is another chat poll! This one is at the request of Joe Potato, our favorite spud, and the usual gang of idiots is involved. Today's question is; What is harder, a poke or a prod? [option1]Poke[/option1] [option2]Prod[/option2] And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	[vote]Prod[/vote] A prod indicates the use of some sort of tool, be it a stick or a sledgehammer. As a consequence, I believe that a prod is harder because, let's face it, the human finger isn't the sharpest of objects. Joe Potato, our favorite spud I'm flattered, even though I probably won that by default... Joe Potato Edit: And for those who aren't normally in chat room and wonder about where topics like this come from, realize that these are very heavily discussed before bringing to the RR for a consensus. We probably spent a good 2 minutes on it. [span class="edited"][Edited by Joe Potato 2004-09-09 21:03][/span]

Therefore, I state a poke is harder. A prod is a lighter version of a poke. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	[vote]Prod[/vote] poking requires but one finger, whereas prodding sometimes requires the use of both hands and some shoulder action prod wins "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman
