Saturday rerun: Pencils Down!

This fellow Mr Fifty Cent  (I knew him when he didn't have two nickels to rub together) had a song called "21 Questions" and it made me think of 21 of my own.


  1. How come in the movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore, no one asked how come a rich New York playboy spoke with an English accent?
  2. Who would play the part of "you" in a Lifetime TV Movie of the Week? 
  3. How long are you willing to wait in a restaurant for a table?
  4. ref #3...Would you stick around even if I told the hostess my last name is Donner so that she would later call out,"Donner..Party of 6!"
  5. How do you think it felt to be the first person who ever ate a raw oyster?  Remember - they probably didn't have cocktail sauce then!
  6. How is it that people will spend thousands of dollars to go to HotAsHell Florida to visit an amusement park based on the adventures of a mouse, yet they freak out if they see a mouse darting around in their yard?
  7. Why do we sing "Rock a bye baby" to put a baby to sleep when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle on the ground? How restful is that for a baby?
  8. Do you agree with Michael Kelso's statement that "Canadians don't have time to generalize about people because they're too busy drinking beer, playing hockey and putting maple syrup on their pancakes"?
  9. Do you notice how much different things were over a ten-year period than they are lately?  As in, look at how people dressed and what kind of music was popular in 1952, and compare that with 1962. But people still dress the same in 2012 as they did in 2002.  Wha' happen'?
  10. If you were a celebrity, would you sign autographs for everyone who mobbed you at dinner?
  11. Did you ever go on a date with someone you were sure was going to be dull as dishwater, only to find them scintillating?
  12. Did you ever go on a date with someone you were sure was going to be scintillating, only to find them dull as dishwater?
  13. Do you hate it when a person makes up questions and simply reverses the thesis of one to create another?
  14. Do you like it when when a person makes up questions and simply reverses the thesis of one to create another?
  15. Are you in touch with your inner child?
  16. Can you remember to pick up a bottle of milk on the way home, or do you need to write a note?
  17. What is it about some people, anyway?
  18. Would you swap 10 years of your life to be really rich or really famous or really good-looking?
  19. Have you ever felt like you were having deja vu for the second time?
  20. If you could know your exact day of death, would you want to find out?
  21. Who has ever seen a ball of wax? Why do we refer to "the whole ball of wax"?  Who wants a ball of wax to begin with?
Please send your answers before tomorrow night.
