I have never understood why people are serious when they use the saying “You have (only) one option.” In a situation where there is only one choice. To me, this has always been kind of a joke because the very definition of “option” is “the power or right of choosing”, “something that may be or is chosen”, or “the act of choosing”. Perhaps this started out as a joke and over time it became a statement of grave seriousness.

About the Author
I'm hooked on etymology, folklore, writing, live music, and making movies. I jam the axe and I'm currently learning how to beat the skins. I write cool software and meaningful screenplays.
I like to drive fast with the top down in the rain with the music cranked.
My tastes in TV, music, film, and literature are broad but obscure. I keep a journal, write screenplays, compose music, take many pictures, and create software.
When camping at night, you can find me staring into the campfire either playing the guitar or telling a spooky story under the moonlight. I love thunder storms, Friday is my favorite day and my favorite number is 9.
