Many of you responded with a violent answer to my first hypothetical question but what if the tables were turned?

I’d devour him.

Hypothetically I would contact my hypothetical lawyer and my son would be sent for hypothetical therapy.

Beat him into a bloody mess. No son of mine makes empty threats or leaves witnesses. He disgraces the memory of Jack the Ripper.

Let’s say this isn’t really a hypothetical question. Then what? Do the police need to be involved?

I would jump from the cliff.

Today’s Fluther is brought to you by the number 5, the letter S and the word Hypothetical.

Boring. These hypothetical qs are so boring.

@marinelife Then go away! If they bore you don’t comment on them that they bore you. Simply leave. My question is not are these hypothetical questions interesting after all.

@wundayatta In the first scenario police could be contacted. The altered scenario is different. It has passed the statue of limitation and the police can do nothing.

@hypotheticalspeaker Obviously @marinelife has every right to respond in a way that she deems fit.
She may reflect the opinion of (some) other Jellies that think the questions are not overly fascinating.

I think @hypotheticalspeaker is in a thought loop.

I would torture the little sod for years until he truly apreciated the exquisite agony one can achieve with nothing more than a knife. Hypothetically, of course.

@marinelife Hypotheticals are fun. If you don’t care for a question, pass it by. Don’t answer it. Fuss about it to yourself. That’s my rule. For myself. grumble grumble

I’d remind him that he’s not supposed to barge in on me & the wife whilst we’re humping.
Then tell him to stop playing so many beat em up games on the xbox, coz they tend to blur reality somewhat, especially when you’re drunk.

I would take him to the nearest high kill shelter and surrender him as a menace to the public.
Then I would adopt another cat. lol

I would also jump off the cliff but hand-in-hand with him!

i’d turn him in, and if it were years later, I’d cause an “accident” to take care of him. Blood ties mean nothing to me.

In the first instance (finding out right away), I’d get him a lawyer and have him turn himself in (with his lawyer). In the second instance, I’m not sure what I would do.

Oh yay! I don’t have a son!

Hypothetically, what would you do if this happened with a daughter @WillWorkForChocolate? ;P

Turn her ass in… hypothetically.

loop de loop – for sure!
