Relative to the population at large, how do you rate your physical attractiveness? Your intelligence? Your personality? I'm pretty sure I'm utterly average in all three of these areas. In a recent job interview, one of the interviewers pointed out that I am horrible at bragging on myself. So even if I found myself to … Continue reading Question of the Week #203

Would you be willing to commit perjury for a close friend? For example, might you testify that he was driving carefully when he hit a pedestrian even though he had been joking around and not paying attention? No. And I'm sure that would lose me some friendships if I were put into that position. I'm … Continue reading Question of the Week #202

Do you frequently find yourself--just to be polite--saying things you don't mean? For example, when you say good-bye to someone who does not interest you, do you act as though you enjoyed their company? Of course I do.

You are given $1,000,000 to donate anonymously to charity or to a stranger. How would you dispose of it? At the moment, I'd go ahead and give it to my church.

What has been your biggest disappointment in life? Your biggest failure? Well... I didn't wake up this morning with millions of dollars in my account. So, there's that. Just kidding.

You have arranged an evening with a friend, but on the day preceding your date a special opportunity arises to do something much more exciting. How would you handle the situation?

Of all the people close to you, whose death would you find most disturbing? I really hope it's not a cop out to say my mother. Because, at this point, that would probably tear me up the most out of anyone I know, be it friend or family. She's the only parent I have left. … Continue reading Question of the Week #195

Would you generally rather be overdressed or underdressed at a party? I'm not typically one who likes to get dressed up. I had enough of that during my years as a bank teller.

Given the ability to project yourself into the future but not return, would you do so? If not, would you change your mind if you could take someone along? How far would you go?
