Shreveport-Bossier Plays Would You Rather… Reveal Your Weight or Your Salary?
Both your weight and your salary are personal information. But if you had to, which would you reveal? Shreveport-Bossier City plays 'Would You Rather!'
Let's face it, politics and religion are usually the two topics that verboten in polite company. Other topics that are frowned about talking about openly are a woman's age, a person's weight, or *gasp* money! We throw all of that out the window on a daily basis.

You can't argue with logic like that! Check out all of the other answers below and feel free to add your comments to the mix. While you're at it, give me a follow;)
Hey;) I'm hoping you can help me with some research for a piece I'm working on... Which would you rather reveal? Your salary or your weight?
