Here's some random fun: on our cruise Alan made up a game that kept us entertained for longer than I'm willing to admit. Most of you probably know the Simon and Garfunkel song that includes lines such as "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes, I would..." Anyway, we spent an evening or two coming up with alternative lines that would rhyme with that one. We pretty much exhausted every letter of the alphabet, but here are a few of my favorites.
I'd rather be a minnow than a whale
I'd rather be a woman than a male
I'd rather be a shovel than a pail
I'd rather be from Harvard than from Yale (no offense to my Peacock friends!)
I'd rather be the whiskers than the tail
I'd rather be a Nancy than a Gayle
I'd rather go to heaven than to "hale"
I'd rather be a sandstone than a shale
I'd rather be expensive than on sale
I'd rather get a passing than a fail
I'd rather eat fresh-baked instead of stale
I'd rather be quite tan instead of pale
I'd rather be in prison than in jail (???)
I'd rather be a pigeon than a quail
I'd rather find the lost ark than the Grail
Ha, ha! I'm laughing as I type them. Can you top any of these?

Heck no! But I'm impressed with your cleverness. Way to go! Sounds like a good game similar to "I've never . . ."
Oh, this was so funny. Let's see if I'm up to the challenge:
I'd rather send a fax than go air mail
I'd rather stay on track than go off trail
I'd rather have root beer than ginger ale
That's all I can come up with for now. How addicting!
Oh goodness...you've got me walking around the house thinking of things that rhyme with "nail". :)
I'd rather be a butterfly than a snail
I'd rather be hand-written than an email
I'd rather look at Matthew McConaughey than Christian Bale
Haha, too funny!!
Very funny! But, I do have to say "Go Yale Bulldogs!" ha ha! Harvard? No way!
I'd rather be a chip than a dale. Yeah, I read your post the day it came up, and it took me that long to think of one that hadn't been said! Maybe it's lame, but it definitely has passed some time! Thanks for a good giggle!
Alan wanted me to add
I'd rather chew tobacco than inhale
I'd rather be moving pipe than lifting a bale. (A little ditty from my rural youth.)
I'd rather be in town than ran out on a rail.
I'd rather live my own life than be a fairy tale.
PS My favorite is the female one
Those are great! I'll have to comment again once I've thought of some.
Just a few more...
I'd rather eat escargot than a snail.
I'd rather be a sidewalk than a trail.
I'd rather go by sea instead of rail.
I'd rather read a book than finger braille.
I'm glad that cats have fur instead of scale(s). I'm done.
