Yes, I made them for my Daddy all the time. He said I had the touch. I saw this happen in a restaurant once, Have you ever had your credit card taken from you and cut up in a business or store? ---

Fortunately not. Have you ever cut up more than a single credit card of your own at one time? ---

Yes. Years ago, I was in the habit of throwing expired credit cards in my desk drawer. My then-wife recoiled in horror at this, and I ended up cutting up about four old credit cards in a few minutes. Have you ever kept Christmas decorations up past New Year’s? ---

Sure. Christmas isn’t over until the 12th Day of, which is Jan. 5th. I usually take 'em down around Epiphany (Jan. 6th). Have you ever thrown a surprise party for a friend or family member? ---

Yes, several times. Once or twice they actually were surprised. Have you ever been to a football game and been snowed upon? ---

Yes. I was president of the Concessions Club in high school, so I went and worked at all the home games, and was frequently snowed upon. Our team always lost, but I made a few bucks. Have you ever played on a sports team (professional or amateur)? ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Have you ever played on a sports team (professional or amateur)? Is bowling a sport? I was on a bowling team in high school. And the school wrestling team. And played for an intramural softball team in college. Have you ever just skipped Christmas (no decoration, no fancy meal, no celebration of any kind)? We try to do it every other year. It’s blissful. ---

No, both my wife and I love Christmas too much to do that, despite the occasional hassles. Have you ever run for public office? ---

I’ve done Santarchy/SantaCon twice. The first time I gave out porn DVDs to all the bad boys and girls (18 years of age and older). Have you ever camped in foul weather? ---

A midnight thunderstorm and resultant flood of our tent at an Indiana campground comes to mind Have you ever bounced on a pogo stick past the age of 13? ---

No, but I wouldn’t mind giving it another try. Have you ever gone Christmas caroling door-to-door? ---

Yes, I was involved in a kids group and we piled them all on a hayride and pulled them around neighborhoods stopping to sing. Have you bathed a dog? ---

Yes, when I was a youth. Dachshunds are slippery little fellows. Have you swam in more than one ocean? ---

Yes, I’ve swum or waded on 5 different coasts of the Pacific and 6 of the Atlantic. I’ve also paddled in the Indian Ocean and in the Mediterranean, which I know is a sea, not an ocean. Have you ever played a practical joke? ---

Yes, I had a Rat Terrier who was 20+ when she died. About age 16 she started breaking teeth. One cold night she had a broken tooth start hurting. Pawing at her mouth and whining. Itwas too late and ice-y to go to the vet. My husband got out a toolman. I dosed her up with a tranquilizer we had gotten from the vet for another issue. We pried her mouth open. I reached in could easily feel the abcess. I went to wiggle it around to make looser and it came right out in my hand. No tool needed. I did it several more times. We eventually had all her teeth pulled. Have you ever pulled one of your own adult teeth? ---
