choosing between equally futile actions theme

A character must decide which action to take even though all potential actions appear equally unappealing.

Notes

This situation is also allegorically known as "Sheridan's Ass" after renowned theme enthusiast Paul Sheridan who noted that it is a mirror reflection of "Burridan's Ass".
