…I’d start by flipping it the right way up; it’s been upside down for way too long. (Better Off Ted was cancelled and Two and a Half Men is still on the air? Seriously?)
…it would be compulsory for talented, ambitious, hard workers to have actual, paying jobs.
…gentle, well intentioned, well timed honesty would be held to a higher esteem than comfortable, easy to handle lies.
…women that pretend to be dumb to get ahead would be locked up.
…men that pretend to want a relationship to get laid, would join them. (Y’all can procreate together.)
…we would travel by teleportation.
…the unattached would wear rings. (I think we are the ones that need to recognize each other far more than marrieds do.)
…there would be fines for those who do not reply to text messages, emails and phone calls. (I’d be über fair though. The statute of limitations on this would be one year.)
…pink shirts on straight men would be illegal; punishable by public mocking.
…witty, devilish, intelligent, sarcastic, responsible, available men would have NO CHOICE but to be insanely attracted to me.
What would you do if you ruled the world?
(Inspired by Stacy over at Chasing Paradise)




I’m with you on the teleport thing. Try living in one of the most isolated countries in the world (unless you’re keen on trips to New Zealand and let’s face it, who really is).
If I ruled the world people would not comment on the hair, wardrobe, body shape or marital status of successful females, most notably our new and first female Prime Minister of Aus.
If I ruled the world chocolate would be in the bottom layer of the food pyramid.
If I ruled the world that same teleport could take us to heaven and back for visits.
If I ruled the world Internet would be free. It would save me a fortune.
Teleport to heaven and back? Done. Just for you. :)
Love this! I’d definitely vote for you to be ruler of the world.
Haha! Thanks, Taylor! You can be my Vice-Ruler just for saying that!
I’m with you on teleportation, singles wearing rings and fines for those who don’t text/call/email back. People have gotten to be so rude.
And yes, I have NO idea how that stupid Charlie Sheen’s show is still on.
Seriously!
Quite possibly one of my favourite posts you’ve ever written.
If I ruled the world…
…chocolate, ice-cream and nachos would be really healthy. Brussel sprouts, figs and oranges wouldn’t.
…prices would vary according to what every person could afford.
…you would always run into your ex when you JUST HAPPEN to be with a model/ dressed to the nines/ in a great mood.
…hair would grow as fast as it can be cut off.
…everyone would get exactly what they deserve.
…the most amazing women wouldn’t be perpetually single just because they are too amazing.
what a fun list! i heart your blog because i know at the end it’s like i can participate :)
…eating dessert first would be the norm
…i’d be able to skip the line at the movies so i wouldn’t miss the previews
…i’d find a bathing suit that actually works for my body shape
….the guy i like would always call first and frequently
brilliant rules. i’d vote for you. i especially agree on the rule to fine those who do not reply to text messages etc.
If I ruled the world Oprah would have retired years ago.
I love all of these. Great sentiments.
