Today's Questions: Saturday, 29 April 2017 ~ Cowboy, Astronaut, Benevolent Master of the Universe

[bjh]

Today's Question(s):
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Truck driver was one.

Did it work out that way, and why or why not?
Yep, I did that for several years and still miss it sometimes.

Bonus Random Section:
Do you prefer leather/vinyl or cloth upholstery in cars and on furniture or do you have no preference?
I prefer cloth in both. In cars leather is too hot in summer and too cold in winter.
On furniture cloth is cooler and more comfortable in my opinion.

Do you ever leave a TV or radio on just for the light or the noise?
There is a TV in this room that is on most of the time. Muted some of the time.

It's getting to be swim season soon in most places. If you wanted to take a dip, where could you go?
Athletic centers like YMCA. We have neighbors with pools. Like kygman said, won't invite
myself, though they have extended an invitation before without any hinting from this end. Really.

Foodie Qs:
What are some of your favorite food smells?
Pizza, almost anything Italian.
Cinnamon.
Chocolate.
Tea.
Coffee.
Roasting beef or sizzling steak.
Basil, oregano.
Fried chicken.
Chinese restaurants, I don't know what specifically the scent is, but I like.
A fresh cheeseburger.
Lemon, orange, lime.
Pecans.
Vinegar or vinegary foods, now I want an Italian sub with vinegar on it.

Just for fun:
Tell us at least one thing you have ordered from room service or would like to now :
Enchiladas. They were okay and were overpriced. What can you expect?

Today's Little Gene-yus Joke:
Little Eugene ran an errand for his mother. She sent him to the post office with a stack of letters to buy stamps.
Eugene walked up to the clerk and set his boxing gloves down on the counter next to the letters.
The postal clerk asked why he'd brought along boxing gloves. Little Eugene replied, "Momma said the stamps have to be licked."

(Note: this pun was made in the high likelihood that little Eugene's childhood took place BEFORE self-adhesive stamps. )
