If you were in love with someone & found out they had AIDS, would you stay?
This sounds as contradictory as George Bush attending peace talks, but there are two love credos to which I subscribe: Love Forever Changes and Love Stays. Love does change; a real love between two people grows and evolves, but the love never lessens. Love stays put, because, when you love someone, you've got to love them. In fact, when you do, you can't do anything else.
Would you rather have super strength or super intelligence?
From the looks of people I see strutting about, there is plenty of super strength to be had, so I'll go with brains. I hope to get some!
Do you think tattoos on the opposite sex are a turn on or turn off?
To me, they are really neither one, although I find tattoos saying such things as "Property of Earl" somewhat off-putting.
What was the last bet you made? Did you win or lose?
I was at the State Fair, I wandered over to the racetrack, I walked up to the window, and put down 2 bucks on the horse favored 2-1 to win the race just about to begin. I walked out, saw him thunder past all the other hosses, collected my 5 bucks, and walked away, making me the only person guaranteed to go to his grave bucks up at the Maryland tracks.
Do you own any tie dye shirts?
I have a shirt that I wear for grilling. The amount of barbecue, Worcestershire and teriyaki sauces that have splashed over that shirt make me want to start singing "What would you dooooooooooooooo if I sang out of tuuuuuuuuuuuune..." every time I go to the grill. And yes, I sing it out of tune. Don't stand up and walk out on me, please!
Do you give or receive advice more?
Oh, I give it far more than is called for. I was once advised to be less pedantic, but you know I failed to pay heed.
Do you get your feelings hurt easily?
sometimes, depends how much the person means to me.

What is the longest amount of time you have ever talked on the phone?

In Baltimore, every citizen is treated to a free Sauna every year. It's known as "July."
Do you like tank tops or tube tops better?
They're both fine for my purposes.
Have you ever been in a limo?
Yes. I can't forget being asked to give a limo driver directions from my father's burial site back to our house...and I was facing backward in the limo seat. Kind of off, giving directions based on where you've been, rather than what's ahead. But as you can see, we got home.
What about a cab?
Yes, but I have yet to do that scene where I hop into a cab and tell the cabbie, "Follow that car!" It's coming; I can feel it!
At what age did you first learn about sex?
Oh gee, it must have been on our honeymoon. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Is there a certain type of girl you go for?
A short, lovely, legal assistant with root-beer-barrel-colored eyes and chestnut hair and a grin that would make the sun rise just to see it and enough patience to have put up with me for 37 years, and a heart of gold. That's my kind of girl!
Would you ever go on a hot air balloon?
I have been surrounded by hot air for years and years and still stayed here on the ground. So, no.
Have you ever been scared for your life?
No. God is truly my shepherd.
Describe the most dangerous situation of your life:
It was in South Texas. We were quail hunting. I spotted a covey of quail and said, "Psssst! Mr Vice-President - over there!" And that's the last thing I recall.

The Bed Of Proper Spelling And Grammar, that's whose bed!

Do you like to have long hair or short hair?
I've had both, and short saves time.
Have you ever started a sentence with "no offense, but"?
No offense, but who hasn't?
Do you want your life to stay the way it is right now forever?
It's fine and it's bound to get better in many ways and worse in some and then come to an end, at some disputed barricade. Sobering thought, eh?
Is anybody in love with you?
Dozens, I am sure.
Do you like pie?
Cherry or blueberry, but I've been avoiding it of late.
Have you ever dyed your hair an unnatural color?
Mother Nature is my colorist, so whatever shade of grayish brown or brownish grey I've going on up there is all natural.
