I always hate starting these threads because apparently 40% of the Dopers don’t know the meaning of the word “one” and by Post #7 there’s “The top three I would pick …” So you’re with a crowd and you’re fairly anonymous. You could confess you killed the Lindburgh baby and they’d be like, “OK. Whatever. Next person’s turn.” Share one fact about yourself. Could be funny or poignant or interesting or unique. Just make it one (and yes this question is supposed to be hard so just pick one). Mine? So many to choose from. I was at John Denver’s last concert. Mrs. Cad is a big fan and had never gone to one of his concert so I took her while he played at Cerritos. When I heard he died it made it very surreal. ---
