44% for me - but, ummmm if you got 100% **magic8ball** that means you’ve done it with a goat? You’ve done it with the dead? You’ve done it with a dog? You have VD? And you’ve done it while you pee?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Ouch. 40%

But some o’ those were awfully open to interpretation.

Right?

[sub]My word but these tests used to be a great source of drunken amusment in my misspent youth. Also useful as a checklist.[/sub] 😃

“Have you done it with the teach?”

What if I was the teach and she was a student? I’m checking “Yes.” (I was teaching COLLEGE students, I should emphasize.)

50%. Geez, I feel… um, I don’t know how 50% makes me feel. Half-assed?

78%.

Some of those are misleading. I mean, of course I’ve done it with the teach, my WIFE is a teacher! And on Mom’s couch? Well, my wife is the mother of two…
