1. At the local grocer, you see an elderly woman shoplift bacon. Do you tell the grocer?
-- No. Well, I guess it depends. Do I know her to be fairly wealthy (we had an old landlady growing up who was a millionaire but just as miserly as humanly possible.)? If I do, yes. Otherwise, no.

2. Your name sounds foreign and is difficult to pronounce. Your clients and superiors are always stumbling over it. Do you change it?
-- Why on earth would I do that? That's their problem.

3. You need one number to win the jackpot at BINGO. The stranger beside you also needs one number and its been called. Do you tell her?
-- I've only played bingo once, and the rules were, if you missed a number, you missed it. You had to call bingo on the last number called. So it wouldn't help even if I did tell them.

4. You're cramming for a critical exam. Classmates are circulating a stolen advance copy of the test. Do you take one?
-- Nope. Just my luck, the test would be revised, and I'd fail. I'd rather fail fairly. :)

5. Your spouse has become a nervous wreck since he/she began day trading on the Internet. But he/she made $10K in a month. Do you make him/her stop?
-- You can't MAKE someone stop anything. And $10K is not worth my happiness in a relationship. I'd try to talk the situation out, make some compromises, and if it wasn't resolved, I'd go.

6. The house of your dreams finally goes up for sale. You take a tour of the home with it's soon to be former occupant, an elderly woman who's moving into a retirement home. When she quotes you the asking price, it is far below what you know the house is really worth. Do you accept her asking price or offer her more?
-- I'd have the place looked over. Is there any good reason why the cost was slashed? If not, I'd ask her why she priced it this way. We could come to some consensus, or I'd take her price, plus maybe $5K. A good deal is a good deal. Maybe she has reasons for her pricing. Plus, I'm poor.

7. You are on a safari with your bestest friend in the whole world and your mom/dad. While walking through the jungle, you all take a tumble over a hole in the ground. Your companions fall in while you fall just past it. In the hole is a nest of vipers that bite your companions. You are carrying the anti-venom but after the fall discover that all but one vial has been smashed. After pulling them both to freedom, who do you give the anti-venom to?
--- This is stupid. No one WALKS on a safari. Also? More than one person would have anti-venom. But I guess I'd give it to my mom. She'd haunt me after death and none of my friends would take the thing in the first place.

8. You dream that friends die in a plane crash. The next day they announce a trip to Greece. Do you mention your dream?
-- Maybe. It depends on how detailed the dream was.

9. Some friends are visiting you. You notice that one of your very valuable collectibles is missing. Do you search the coats and purses?
-- No. If mention that it's gone. I mention how much I love it. If I don't get it back, I don't invite the group again. This is assuming I know it's stolen and that I haven't just been an idiot and misplaced it.

10. You've just paid for groceries and the cashier is giving you your change. You notice that she's giving you far too much change. Do you ask her if she made a mistake?
-- Yes. I do this quite a lot.

11. You work at a bank and one evening discover that due to a clerical error, you could safely steal 1 million dollars from the bank and never get caught. Would you do it? What if you would never get caught but another coworker would be blamed?
-- No. I'd be a nervous wreck, so nervous that I'd never spend any of it.

12. In order to win 1 million dollars, you are told to walk stark naked down a city sidewalk for one block. No one would harm you and you could hop into a waiting limousine at the other end. Would you do it?
-- Hell yes. Can I do it 10 times for 10 million??

13. You are told that if you leave the country, taking only one other person with you, you will both be well taken cared of but you could never return. Would you do it?
-- YAWN. No thanks.

14. If by cutting off your pinky you could stop all wars, now and future, would you? What about your thumb?
-- That would never happen. EVER. Human nature is what it is. But in the hypothetical chance that it was for real, dammit, take my whole hand.

15. Would you rather have a simple and predictable life, dying among friends and family, or a dramatic life with major ups and downs, dying alone in an empty apartment?
-- Ugh. Neither. Well, I guess simple and predictable is better in the end, but, wow. Boring.

16. If you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?
-- No, it'd come back in the end.

17. Would you accept twenty years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you would die at the end of the period?
-- No, because every single day, I'd know my death was coming. I'd rather be surprised.

18. You have the chance to meet someone with whom you can have the most satisfying love imaginable, the stuff of dreams. Sadly, you know that in six months the person will die. Knowing the pain that would follow, would you still want to meet the person and fall in love?
-- Probably not. I don't think I could handle the emptiness afterwards. Well, if it wasn't romantic love, then I would. But losing your true love? I'd rather not meet them at all. Did you see the look on Christian's face at the end of Moulin Rouge? No thanks. I'd never get over it.

19. Would you rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable yet unexciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life?
-- Happy private life. A hug from your loved one fixes so many things.

20. If a new medicine were developed that would cure cancer but cause a fatal reaction in 1 percent of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?
-- Absolutely. Other medicines have that caveat today, if not MUCH higher than 1%.

21. You're invited to a cocktail party that turns into an in-the-buff pool party. Friends and strangers are present. Do you skinny-dip, too?
-- Well...Is my boyfriend around? :P
Seriously, I wouldn't. But really for Mike's sake, not my own.

22. If you knew that by killing one person, all world hunger would instantly end, would you? What if the person was a horrible murderer? What if the person was an innocent child?
-- Once again, human nature is what it is. I could stop the world from ENDING with the life of a child, but people will always be greedy and hungry. So no. Edit:: I was thinking about it in the shower. I couldn't really do either. You can't END something horrible by doing something horrible. For this scenario to work, you'd have to have a willing participant, and children are not capable of giving such consent. So if humanity cannot end its ills without a consenting intervention, then it should continue on as it is until it meets its end because wrongs will never equal rights.

23. If, for the next year, you could have the free services of a maid, a chauffeur, a gardner, a masseuse, or a chef, who would you pick and why?
-- A chauffer. Wait. That's Mike. An masseuse. Wait... :)


24. If you could pick the sex of your child, would you?
-- I want one of each. Can I pick twins? Get it over with in one shot?

25. To win 1 million dollars, you and your partner could not have sex with each other for a month, would you?
--ABSOLUTELY. We could skip sex for a year for 12 million, right?? I mean, nobody said anything about oral or masturbation.
