Um, where's the "if"? Another wish for Nick's irrealis, I guess. But
without some sort of irrealis, we're left wondering if you're really faced
with the choice: sounds like someone musing. "Hmm.... I have to be lame or
else I have to be corrupt. I'd rather be lame". 'Course, where would you
put the "-chugh" then? My preference is on both the verbs, making it
"jIrIghnISchugh pagh jIqalnISchugh...".
