16. I don't get the attraction, either.
In the unlikely event that I were to decide to permanently disfigure my body that way, I would have the words "Kiss Me." written on my left (as in "lefty") butt cheek.

3. Joke about bombs at an airport.

4. Root for the Giants at Dodger Stadium.

14. If you see a car that can't stay in its own lane,
the driver is probably not drunk. More likely he or she is doing something with a cell phone.

15. Date or marry a republican.
I would also not base-jump from anywhere, bungie jump from anywhere, wash windows on sky scrapers, or do anything else that has to do with falling or having the potential to fall from high places. Granted, if I were forced to make a choice between doing something that has the potential of falling from high places or dating a republican, I'd jump.

17. That actually looked really fun.
And I'm covered in tattoos, so I can't use that one either.

Anything involving caves would be my choice. I can barely drive through a tunnel.

18. Under water caving
it's scary enough inside a cave without water. And mountain climbing -- looks wonderful but would never do that either, unless it was one you could walk up and down.

I'd like to go mountain climbing, but not at extreme altitude.

19. sounds weird but tight rope walking
I watched Man On Wire the other night and it made me nervous and almost ill to watch, even though I knew that he would be alright.

20. Could never be an electrician.
I'd be afraid that one day, no matter how careful I was, there'd still be a real bad glitch.

And I'd just see a big blue arc, followed by me standing there in a pair of smoking boots.

21. Ditto base jumping. Also, would never...
kiss a hornet, vote for fascists, go to church unless it was for someone else's function like a wedding, betray my Sweetie, kill anyone absent dire necessity, say I am "from" Ohio (transplant from MA), climb above 27,000 feet, ride one of those crazy roller coasters, fail to get a flu shot, shut up.

I am sure there are other things, but I can't think of any.

37. The guy who turned gray was taking Silver Chloride. That is NOT colloidal silver.
He messed up and did it wrong and is blaming it on colloidal silver. He was taking a salt.

Eating balut, voting Republican, taking up fundamentalist religion and joining the Marines are about it for me.
