		<description>I love this!

It&#039;s wretched when someone asks you to do something and you feel you have to disappoint/anger/surprise them by refusing.  

I had my pastor&#039;s wife ring and ask me if I would run the Sunday school. My immediate reply was, &quot;Only if you put a gun to my head.&quot;

While we weren&#039;t, perhaps, such good friends after that, I was saved from dealing with hundreds of screaming children on a weekly basis.  If I&#039;d only known of your post (and multitudinous options containing varying degrees of rejection) I may have had my cake, and eaten it too.

Thanks for sharing!</description>
