Back to the Death Note that works on dogs. Could you write the colloquial name of the dog, e.g., Sparky, or do you need to know his full registered name, e.g., Edmund Barkington IV?

  • No, it’s not going to work with just the colloquial name of the dog, you need his full registered name.

Bob goes into an American restaurant. When the waitress comes up to him he admits upfront she’s not getting a tip. He’s here to try the Chef’s signature dish which he can’t really afford to pay for, but really can’t afford to pay 120% of the listed price. It’s blowing through almost his entire savings but it’s something he’s always wanted to try. He explains he’s being upfront with her and will take no offence and will not complain if he’s moved down to absolutely last priority.

Is Bob a jerk?

  • yes
  • no
