Actually the “Ask the Charlie Sheen” thread is just like the “Ask the mad scientist” thread. Only without the science. ---

The Jews in Jail (or whatever) thread has me wanting an “Ask the Person Who’s Been in Prison” thread. [QUOTE=Autolycos] Actually the “Ask the Charlie Sheen” [/QUOTE] You…you…your mind it’s not able to even con-ceive of the stuff that thread could tell you… it’s on a total other level and like a color you can’t see and I’m just telling the truth. ---

> [@BaconAndEggs](#): > > Ask the pregnant woman anything… [Done](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=576908). I went month by month, and all the threads are collected at the start of the last one. I’m not pregnant anymore (whew!), but you’re still welcome to ask me anything about it. > [@BaconAndEggs](#): > > Ask the cat… My cat is very open, and I’m happy to translate for him. > [@willthekittensurvive](#): > > Ask the (ex)partner/child of a convicted psyschopath/pedofile/murderer etc I’m the child of a convicted pedophile. If people really want to see a thread about it, PM me, and if there’s significant interest, I’ll start one. I suspect, though, that it wouldn’t be as interesting or enlightening as you think. ---

> [@apollonia](#): > > I would actually like to see an “Ask the Dentist” thread. I’m curious, and I can never ask my dentist because every time I go she seems really excited to cram a million things into my mouth. It doesn’t make for good conversation. I wanted to ask my dentist too but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. So, I asked the hygienist, “what the hell possessed you to go into a career that has you scraping nasty plaque off people’s teeth day in and day out?” She laughed and said, “I was a nursing student but decided that I didn’t want to work night, weekends, or holidays so I transferred to the dental hygiene program.” Seemed like a good reason to me. There are so many other questions I wanted to ask though and didn’t. So, I’d also like to see an ask the dentist or hygienist thread. ---

I’d like to see an “Ask the big lottery winner” thread. I’m curious about the mechanics of what happens once you’ve won. Do you just take the cheque to the bank, or what? Does the lottery corporation have orientation seminars for big winners? But I can understand why winners might be hesitant to speak, even anonymously. In a similar vain, how about an “Ask the private banking customer” thread? What is the difference between private banking and regular retail banking? Is it just plusher and less crowded, or are there different services availalble? ---
