Not by myself, but I’ve assisted in making a gingerbread house. (Handing the main architect some sugar drops and so on). Have you ever sung a solo in church? ---

No, but I did sing in a church choir for years. On a few occasions, I also sang in an SATB quartet in church, and played a duet on my flute with a guitar player in church. Have you ever been to a Broadway show in New York? ---

Yes, quite a number, at least 2 dozen, not counting shows I’ve seen two or 3 times, since I’ve lived in the NYC area for over 30 years. Have you ever eaten something that wasn’t meant for human consumption? ---

Yes, all the time. I drink raw, unpasteurized cow’s milk that clearly says on the label “Not For Human Consumption”. Have you ever milked a cow? ---

Yes, many times. HYE milked a goat? ---

Yes, I’ve milked more than my share of goats. When I was a kid our next-door neighbor raised dairy goats. And it was all fit for human consumption, stupid USDA regulations notwithstanding(if they were in effect back then). Have you ever been to an X-rated movie theater?(for any reason 🙂 ) ---

No, but I did go back into the adults-only section of a Family Video, and was rather surprised at how open they were with their advertising back there. But if you wanted to get anything from there, you had to put it in an opaque bag and bring it to the front so that impressionable minds couldn’t see anything they’re not supposed to. It was quite a change from where I worked at Blockbuster Video, which had no adult section. Have you ever turned the TV on to a sex scene by accident? ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Have you ever turned the TV on to a sex scene by accident? No, but the bartender at a sports bar I was at did. Apparently, the TVs at the bar were not controlled by a remote, but by a tablet app. The bartender did not know how to use it. We asked for a certain game, and in looking for it, he stumbled across some porn. If he had been holding a remote and looking at the TVs, he might have seen that he got it wrong, but he was looking at the tablet app, and didn’t notice that we were watching–well, you can guess. Have you ever asked your doctor about a prescription medication that you’ve seen advertised on TV? ---

Why yes. Yes, I have. HYE asked your dentist if they recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum? ---

No, but I once had a dentist who recommended that I chew sugarless gum. I don’t chew gum. Have you ever asked the patrons of a gentlemen’s club if they prefer blondes? ---

No, because I prefer brunettes and don’t care what the hell they prefer. HYE lusted for a brunette you saw in a movie? ---

No, fortunately. But my wife’s family once had their car broken into and stuff stolen in broad daylight on a busy NYC street. HYE had your car broken into? ---

Yes. And they took the car too. HYE wondered what term they used for the phenomenon we now humorously refer to as “crop dusting” in the days before the advent of aviation? ---

No, I didn’t. Now I know. HYE thought you were farting, but “stuff” came out? ---

Yes, and I have embarrassed my adult son by discussing how it happened so often there must have been intent. HYE had scary chest pain that was a “false alarm”? ---

Yes, a few years ago I ran 200 yards to catch a train. I made it, but felt almost like I was going to black out, with chest pain, dizziness, nausea etc. It was scary but after a minute or two I felt better. At my next physical (which just happened to be scheduled for the following week) I asked about an EKG especially since heart disease runs in my family but it didn’t show any signs of a heart attack. Have you had a root canal, extraction or any other major dental procedure?
