You find yourself in a hostage situation, your captor says you can go free but you have to create an origami animal, would you try (more details inside)?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) March 25th, 2015

As the title say, freedom hinges on your ability to create an origami animal. You have to use the whole sheet of paper; you can’t tear, cut, puncture or otherwise alter the paper from being one sheet. You have a choice to create a two hump camel, a water buffalo, praying mantis, or an elephant, you only have to choose one. Which one would you attempt to create to gain your freedom?

The correct answer is a unicorn, of course.

However, since this isn’t on the list of options, I’ll go with a praying mantis. Because they’re cool.

All I have to say is, what a fucked up captor. What’s his problem, why is he kidnapping people just to make them do origami animals? Oh well, at least this doesn’t include fucking any animals like that question posted by our alien resident lol.

And of course I’d try. I mean, I don’t wanna die. And I would make the mantis. As symbolism to my captive; if I get out of this alive, I’mma eat you alive, jackass.

Ha! I actually like this ridiculous situation. I kind of want an illustration of his lair.

I’m going to go with an elephant.

- water buffalo seems complicated
– praying mantis would probably require me to tear the paper
– two hump camel would be a contender, but I think the stumpier legs of an elephant would be easier to fudge

A legless elephant with neither ears nor tusks.

It could happen. E.g., what if the elephant’s mom took lots of Thalidomide ? ;-o

@Brian1946 Why not a legless camel with neither humps nor tail? :P

@fluthernutter Good one- then I wouldn’t have to deal with the trunk.

You mean I don’t have to copulate with swine this time? Great. Life just got easier. And in return, I won’t kill everybody involved.

I’ll take my chances with the praying mantis. I like the angles. I think I can do that one. It reminds me of the way we used to fold the napkins when I was a waiter.

Either shoot me now or accept my folded paper rendition of Sponge Bob without his arms and legs. I think I could fold a box shape but it is more likely that I will offend the kidnappers and get shot anyway.

I meant captor, not captive. Ass!

An elephant seems pretty easy.

I’d take that crisp piece of paper, grab my startled captor, pinch his nose & give him a severe paper cut on the tip of his wretched tongue.
Then i’d fashion an elephant with a bloodied trunk as I watch the fucker writhe around in agony.

Easy, I’d create my goose “Marwyn”, he looks just like an Origami swan. He is stunning in his little upright swan boat form swimming. haha

I know how to make an origami frog.
