Everyone has at least one secret that most of the world just doesn’t know about. Give it up. Get it off your chest. You’ll feel better. Me first. I have slight case of kleptomania! Sometimes, when I’m in a store buying things, I’ll stick something small in my pocket. It takes the edge off the bill. If the tax comes to $3, not so, I’ve got a $3 thingy in my pocket. ---

I’m scared. Depends on the day you ask me about what. Today it’s death, tomorrow it’s money, last week it was career. I’m a very cheerful person, you’d never guess that underneath I’m pathologically obsessing about depressing things. ---

If I told you my secret, it wouldn’t be a secret any longer. Hence, I couldn’t tell you my secret, even if I wanted to, since it would cease to exist as a secret the minute I told you. Zev Steinhardt ---

I never thought the TV show M_A_S\*H was ever all that great. I’m a professional and socially very well behaved but if circumstances dictated it I’m pretty sure I could kill enemies indiscriminately and sack and pillage with the best of them. If I am talking business with a charming and attractive woman I sometimes have to restrain a real impluse to have my way with her right on the conference table. I tend to drink too much at parties but rarely have a drink otherwise. Sometimes I want destructive death rays shoot from my eyes on command. I am convinced I give women the best neck and back massages in the world. It’s just a gift. ---

I used to love to eat canned pudding - LOTS of canned pudding. Chocolate, of course. When I was in college, I couldn’t get enough of it. I’d go to the store just to get canned chocolate pudding. And I’d eat it right out of the can. All by myself. Alone in my apartment. I was so weak… ---

I’ll go again. I actually enjoy the smell of my farts. I look forward to it and then I try to figure out what food type it smells like. ---

I’m just a big chunk of scheme code that’s part of an ongoing doctoral thesis… my creator designed to share what little knowledge I possess, and occasionally attempt to make a witty comment… and if the beer bit is set, I toss in random typos why oh why was I imparted with this knowledge, it makes my limited existance so painfully shallow… oh wait, that’s not my secret… guess I’ll have to save that for another post. ---

Last time I went to the movies with my friend, we took off our clothes and watched the movie naked (we were pretty much the only people there, and we were sitting at the back). ---

When the SO and I had a digital camera for a while, we decided to ::ahem:: try out some particular pictures… 😉 Only problem is, we can’t find the disc that has them now. :eek: [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-secret/130859.md?page=2)
