Iā€™m finding it hard to think of any who even smoke dope. But then again, itā€™s not really common at all over here. Do you know any martial arts? ---

No. Although two of my sons have taken tae kwan do, I could still kick their asses. šŸ˜‰ Have you ever walked through Central Park in NYC? ---

My SO wished she did, but doesnā€™t know any pot dealer around here. Have you ever taken a life, human or animal, be it by accident or on purpose ? ETA : OMG, ninjas ! ---

Yes, I have killed a few small spiders on purpose. I suppose that counts? Have you ever thrown up out of a hotel room window? ---

Hell, no, Iā€™m much too classy for that. (I wish these werenā€™t yes/no questions!) Have you ever just thrown the rules to the wind and done something completely wrong? ---

Yes. In music (I play guitar) thatā€™s one of the funnest things to do. Iā€™m sure I break the rules in other ways, too, but I donā€™t think about it too much. Have you ever put a penny (or a quarter, or a drachma, or a peso) on a railroad track and found it later squished by a train? ---

No, and Iā€™ve always wondered if that really works. Do you plan to travel outside your country this year? ---

Iā€™m really wanting to visit Canada or Tokyo but Iā€™m really not sure yet. In reality, I donā€™t expect to do any foreign travel this year, but definitely next yearā€¦ and the year after thatā€¦ andā€¦ eh, you get the point. Have you used a payphone in the last year? ---

I think Iā€™ve used a payphone once, back in high school. So no, not for years. Have you ever been backpacking? ---

> [@Katy\_Kool](#): > > Have you been in a helicopter Not flying, but I seem to recall stepping into one that was on display at a fair or museum. Oh yeah, Iā€™ve also been on a ride [similar to this one](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ci.green-bay.wi.us/BayBeach/images/rides/Helicopters.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ci.green-bay.wi.us/BayBeach/Rides/Helicopters.html&usg=__np-qt1FmjO8U9xgAaL2qe2AMhZQ=&h=216&w=288&sz=24&hl=en&start=11&um=1&tbnid=hN76Eftlcc_1ZM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhelicopters%2Bamusement%2Bpark%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1), but I doubt you had such a loose definition in mind.

No. Saturday is usually my morning to sleep in, and I savor it. Do you have any big plans for this weekend? ---

No big plans, just some smaller choresā€¦so basically, no. Do you worry or panic about your luggage when travelling by plane (ā€œOMG what if my suitcase gets lost and Iā€™m far away from home without spare clothes and stuffā€¦ā€)? ---

Nah, not really. I carry all the important stuff in my hand luggage anyway. Can you have just one drink? ---

Yes, and often do. One beer is usually all I want, or one shot of whiskey, although at other times, such as over the course of a long dinner with friends, Iā€™ve been known to have two or even three glasses of wine. Do you like Bob Dylan?
