Which game? Please give the full auction, no matter how ugly or joker. It is informative.

The way I see it, with the opponents having a likely double fit in the minors it seems clear we need 3 tricks in the majors. I choose the ♠ J. Here's hopin' that as part of partner's random 8-or-so-count she holds the ♠ A and can lead a heart through the 1♣ bidder. I grant it could go the other way and we might need to cash 2 hearts before declarer gets in and pitches ♥ losers. I have no idea which is more likely; sometimes you just have to pick a side 
edit:
I've totally neglected the diamond queen. The auction should make it easy to pick up I think.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.

RHO opens a strong club, LHO bids 1♦ negative, and partner shows at least 5/4 in either the majors or the minors (you haven't had any discussion about how good a hand it shows).
RHO bids a natural 2♣, you bid 2♥, 3♣ on your left, and you proceed to have a disgusting auction where everyone at the table bids once more until they land up in game (5♣). What's your lead? Edit: Full auction below.
