Hungry or starving?? ONLY TEENAGERS!?

A stranger walked up to you one day and said he would give you one dollar if you were hungry or one-hundred dollars if you were starving. Which one would you rather be hungry or starving?

And why?

    I am no longer a teenager (in my 40's now). I moved out when I was 19 though.

    When I moved out, I moved to a very poor, rural agricultural area, and it was winter. There was not a job to be had, despite having worked full time since I was 16, and having and excellent resume with excellent references.

    I was a very healthy size six when I moved. With no job, no money, and no food, I dwindled down to a skeletal size 3. You could clearly see every rib on my body.

    For $100 dollars, I would have been able to feed myself for a month. $100 dollars might have kept me fed, until I was able to find a job, when the weather warmed up and things picked back up.

    I would rather have been starving, and received the $100. I would have also liked to work honestly for the stranger, to help repay their kindness.

    So he asked me if I was hungry or starving? I'll fool him and take the 100.

    Punch him in the face. Then teabag him.

    P.S. Bring water wings.
