If we were really playing “I Never” I’d be taking a lot of drinks… I’ve never seen a movie at a drive-in. They were still around and fairly popular when I was younger and then when I was in my teens they started shutting down all over the place. Since my parents had never taken me, I didn’t get to go once I was driving my own car. There are some drive-in’s in the Chicago area that I hear are a lot of fun. One of these days I’ll go, be disappointed (of course), and cross it off my “to do” list. ---

I have never: Sent a text message. Broken a bone. Stood on my head. Used an illicit drug stronger than weed, which I did a total of two times. Ridden a unicycle or juggled. Worn clown makeup. Learned to play an instrument with any competence, to my regret. ---

> [@UncleRojelio](#): > > Jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft. I would argue that any aircraft that I’ve jumped out of were definitely not “perfectly good.” I’ve never smoked pot. I’ve never bungie jumped. I’ve never shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. ---

Been drunk. Sent a text message. Skied (on snow). Shot a gun. Of course, I \*could \*do all four simultaneously, but I never would. Texting while skiing and shooting drunk is just plain irresponsible. ---

> [@UncleRojelio](#): > > Been to the moon. How common is the last? Well, maybe you hang with Neil and Buzz and they’re constantly lording it over you. I’ve never used any illicit drug. I’ve never been drunk. Never had any desire to do either. Never shot a gun. I have handled a gun, because my dad was a cop, but it was always just a tool that dad needed for his job. ---

I’ve never seen _ **Caddy Shack** _. I’ve never seen an episode of _ **Two and a Half Men** _, or a whole bunch of other popular shows right now. I’ve never had poison ivy, or any rash from a plant. But in the past 10 years I’ve done a lot of things I thought I’d never do. ---

Never smoked or took an illegal drug. Never had a pregnancy test (aside from any pre-op requirements - currently age 40, female, continuously sexually active since age 19) or been knowingly pregnant. Never shot a real gun (air rifle, yes). Never had poison ivy, and I grew up in areas with it and have often gone camping. ---

Seen the movie ET — or a lot of other wildly popular movies. Only saw the first Star Wars. Driven a car cross country. Never cheated on a spouse. Never took the first swing or shot. Never failed to pay a bill. ---
