    The language is not clear.

    " As a vegetarian, which of these three options you want the least and which you want the most? You MUST choose to continue:

    1. Chicken sandwich.
    2. A kick in the balls.
    3. Pork sandwich.

    "

    You are saying that a reasonable person (vegetarian in this case, and disclaimer: I am not vegetarian) would say “well, I want a kick in the balls the least, so I’ll choose that. Now, fuck, I HATE chicken sandwiches and I HATE pork sandwiches. They both make me puke. But if I have to choose, I guess I’ll go for the chicken sandwich. Hey pollster, I want the chicken sandwich the most.” And the pollster writes “Chester wants the chicken sandwich the most.” Yeah, very clear.
