Nope, never, nosirree, not a chance.
HYE been through an earthquake?
Yes, more than a few, but considering my location (So-Cal) That’s not remarkable.
HYE been moved on an airplane to adjust the weight balance?
Yeah, and you don’t argue with an Air Force loadmaster about it.
HYE been disciplined or punished for submitting an entry to a suggestion box?
No, those things are anonymous for a reason!
HYE been “randomly” selected for “additional screening” at the airport?
Sure, several times. Nothing to intrusive
HYE flown on a private jet or business jet?
I have to go back and answer this one. I used to frequently fly between that well known banking center of the Cayman Islands and a major city in Colombia not far from cocaine country. I got “randomly” selected often enough that I knew my way to the private interview room with the real x-ray machine in the Bogotá airport. It never got as far as a strip search but they have *thoroughly *checked me and my luggage for anything hidden many times. Gratefully they only used the metal probes on my luggage. :eek:
Not a jet. Just a couple trips on private prop planes a couple times in my youth.
HYE traveled internationally on a boat by sail power alone?
No, although once when I was in a small sailboat blown offshore and over the horizon from North Carolina’s Outer Banks, I was afraid we just might be headed to Portugal!
HYE been to Portugal?
no. Though my sister just got back from there. Said it was lovely.
HYE been cut-off by a bartender?
No, but my Friendly Neighbourhood Bartender will indicate that maybe it’s time to call it a night by saying, “Spoons, would you like me to call you a taxi?” After the obligatory joke about, “Why? Do I look like a taxi?”, I always accept the offer–I don’t give him the chance to cut me off.
Have you ever been in a high school drama production?
Yes, I was a senior and performed in our production of Oliver! I did mostly chorus song and dance work but I did have a couple of vocal solos! We were very well received, not so much because of me but there was some serious talent in the school at that point so we did good.
Have you ever crashed your car solo?
Yes, if you count hitting deer. The bad one was when I killed 2 deer at once. And nearly offed myself. Folks the deer have a grudge against me.
HYE ran over a skunk?
No.
Have you ever seen a pig being walked on a leash?
NO, but related: HYE seen a cat being walked on a leash?
Yes. (And I’ve seen a pig on a leash, too.)
Have you ever used a pogo stick (without falling over)?
Yes, when I was a teen, I could pogo a good amount of times. Learned to ride a unicycle too.
Have you ever ridden a unicycle?
Yes, indeed y, they’re not that hard with a little bit of grass to fall onto and some practice.
Continuing with unicycle: I had one as a kid, and it went just like MM said above. You fall over a few times, but you get good at it very quickly.
Have you ever ridden a tandem bicycle? Bonus points for more than two seats.
Yes indeed, we used to own a tandem bike.The fun part is to ride from the back seat only just using balance…
HYe lost a wheel while cycling?
Yes, it was not enjoyable.
HYE run out of gas in a truck shortly after entering a river tunnel at rush hour?
Not exactly, but I have run out of gas while driving. I managed to coast into a gas station, thankfully.
Have you ever seen a house fire, live (i.e. not on TV or in the movies)?
