This is the prelude to "no-shave November." It is where shaving becomes optional due to a variety of factors, including the beginning of the MLB playoffs, your favorite NFL team being 3-1, plain old laziness, or the fact that one just needs some practice not shaving. It can also relate in northern tier states to the beginning of deer bow hunting.
Dude, you didn't shave today. Are you prepping for "No-Shave November?" "Yep, but it has a name. It's called Optional October."

The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).
I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.
