> [@EscAlaMike](#): > > Yes. I was at a college basketball game, and my school (the home team) won the game as a big underdog. The students all ran out onto the Court, and it was complete chaos. I found myself face to face with one of the most hated players on the opposing team, so I shoved him away from me. The game wasn’t over though. The refs said there was still a little bit of time left on the clock, so we all had to get off the Court so the game could finish (we still won). > > Have you ever been inside a correctional facility? Yes, many times. (Former criminal defense attorney, it goes with the job) (In law school I met John Gotti during a tour of the NY MCC.) Have you ever published a peer reviewed article? ---

I’ve certainly consumed tequila, but it has always been at a bar, where the tequila does not involve worms. I do recall a friend who proffered a bottle of tequila that he acquired from a trip to Mexico, and it had a worm, and he asked, “Who wants a drink?” The tequila was not a brand anybody knew, and it was cloudy, and the worm looked disgusting, and none of us took a chance on this possibly blindness-inducing drink. Have you ever smoked in the boys’ (or girls’) room in high school? ---

No, because it was unnecessary -we had designated student smoking areas. Sometimes I miss the seventies. HYE walked across a rope bridge? ---

Yes, but not since I was a teenager. 'Twas in Wyandotte Cave in southern Indiana. It was a lot of work for little reward, IMHO. Have You Ever pretended expertise in a field you didn’t have? ---

Yes, when I was 22 I pretended that I knew how to cook eggplant parmigiana (which I had never even heard of at the time) when someone I was interested in mentioned it as a favorite dish. Have you ever cooked or eaten eggplant parmigiana? ---

“HYE used YouTube as jukebox while you worked?” No, but I _have_ listened to my music while I worked. Most of the time, it was while doing inventory after-hours at Blockbuster. Every now and then, I would play “Jungle Boogie” by Kool & the Gang as my “celebration” piece when I sold a Rewards card. And when I briefly worked at a store that was selling a sound system, I liked to put on The Beatles. One time I had the Sgt. Pepper album on, and the Sgt. Pepper Reprise started to play right at closing time. “We’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/We hope you have enjoyed the show/Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/We’re sorry, but it’s time to go” Eep, ninja’d. In-play: “Have you ever flown a helicopter?” ---

Only in video games. I have flown a real aircraft (Cessna 172), when my friend who was a pilot and who owned the aircraft, turned the controls over to me while we were in flight. So at least I’ve flown an aircraft. Have you ever ridden a motorcycle (as a passenger or driver) without a helmet? ---

For months after I shaved my head I freaked out over my mirror image. My gf and I changed sides of the bed so I wouldn’t wake up and see myself in a mirror. HYE left your purse/wallet/credit card behind at a restaurant or event?
