No.

Did you ever take a day off like Ferris?

07-25-2006, 04:42 AM

Yes - I was in the US military, operating in the fringe of a Central American country, when I took off for the capital city. Senior, in-country, US conventional military commanders became highly perturbed and were talking courts martial. Fortunately, I had country-wide temporary duty orders; so, I wasn't under their jurisdiction. Later back stateside, I explained to my actual boss [spec. ops.] that I had designated my replacement for that day and took off to celebrate the occasion of my 30th birthday! The boss smiled, said that he didn't like those particular in-country commanders anyway, and blew the whole thing off!! I owe it all to Ferris!!!

Have you ever had a close call?

glatt · 07-25-2006, 09:27 AM

Yes. Shortly after I got my driver's license, I was weaving in and out of traffic. All proud of my skill. As I approached a red light, I swerved over to a lane that had fewer cars in it. The car in front of me was slowing down more abruptly than I anticipated, and when I swerved to another lane, I came within an inch or two of clipping it's rear at a pretty high speed. I immediately realized that I was acting like an idiot, and I stopped driving like I owned the road. Now I'm a safe driver.

Have you ever mutilated or otherwise destroyed a book?

Spexxvet · 07-25-2006, 09:34 AM

Yes, cut out a hole in the middle of a hard-back to hide my stash, when I a teenager.

Do you save magazines after you read them?

Trilby · 07-25-2006, 09:42 AM

No.

Do you want this old Oprah mag?

Shawnee123 · 07-26-2006, 11:29 AM

No.

But do you have a copy of Highlights for Children?

Iggy · 07-26-2006, 11:45 AM

No.

Is it ridiculously hot where you are?

Trilby · 07-26-2006, 11:57 AM

Yes.

Are you bothered by the Woody Allen/Scarlett Johanssan thing?

Iggy · 07-26-2006, 12:06 PM

No.

Should I pay more attention to the celebrities?

LabRat · 07-26-2006, 12:09 PM

No. They get too much already.

Are you going on a vacation this summer?

Iggy · 07-26-2006, 12:30 PM

No.

Do you like seafood?

Shawnee123 · 07-26-2006, 01:10 PM

No. I like Salmon, Tuna, Haddock, Halibut, etc...but no crustaceans!
Do you think it's impossible that I was a mermaid in my past life?

Elspode · 07-26-2006, 01:25 PM

No.

Will my increasingly corporate job eventually drive me postal?

Undertoad · 07-26-2006, 01:40 PM

Yes.

Will I be able to find a non-corporate job that will pay me decently?

Trilby · 07-26-2006, 01:42 PM

Yes!

Will my colon need resectioned?
