Useless facts to impress your friends and relatives: Did you know an ant always fall over on its right side when it's intoxicated? That during your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill 2 swimming pools? That a cockroach will live 9 days without its head before it starves to death? Now on with the questions...


1) It seems to me that in the old days, we got more shots from the doctor in places on our body that wasn't in one of our arms. Where is the last place you got a shot (from some medical professional or yourself) that wasn't in one of your arms?


2) Do you know anyone personally who was killed by a force of nature? (Examples: tornado, hurricane, fire, flooding, avalanche, earthquake, mudslide, etc.)
If yes, please name the force of nature.


3) Do you know anyone who divorced a spouse and then remarried that same person again?
If yes, how did the marriage work out the second time? In other words are they still married or did they divorce again?


4) With the total of the 3 below, adding up to 100 percent of your fast food place visits, approximately:

What percent of the time do you eat inside the fast food restaurant?
What percent of the time do you go to the drive-through window?
I never go to fast food restaurants.


5) Based on feelings, not facts/data, do you think that people who live in cities are less likely to use drive-throughs than suburban or rural people?


6) Name the type of places, other than fast food restaurants, where you personally use the drive-through rather than go inside the building?

Where is the last place you got a shot (from some medical professional or yourself) that wasn't in one of your arms?..............It’s been a long time since I’ve had any kind of shot other than a flu shot.


2) Do you know anyone personally who was killed by a force of nature? (Examples: tornado, hurricane, fire, flooding, avalanche, earthquake, mudslide, etc.)........Thankfully I do not.
If yes, please name the force of nature.


3) Do you know anyone who divorced a spouse and then remarried that same person again?
If yes, how did the marriage work out the second time? In other words are they still married or did they divorce again?...........Yes, it didn’t work any better than the first time.

What percent of the time do you eat inside the fast food restaurant?
What percent of the time do you go to the drive-through window?.................25% for a drink only.
I never go to fast food restaurants...............75% I don’t eat fast food.


5) Based on feelings, not facts/data, do you think that people who live in cities are less likely to use drive-throughs than suburban or rural people?............I think it would be less for city people because many of them use alternative transportation. Rural people always drive since there’s little or no public transportation.


6) Name the type of places, other than fast food restaurants, where you personally use the drive-through rather than go inside the building?............I often the drive up at the bank.

1) It seems to me that in the old days, we got more shots from the doctor in places on our body that wasn't in one of our arms. Where is the last place you got a shot (from some medical professional or yourself) that wasn't in one of your arms?
That's an interesting question. My first thought was the numbing shots given by the dentist last summer before a procedure. If dentist injections don't count, then it would have to be the time I got a shot in my heel from the podiatrist to treat my plantar fasciitis, about eight years ago.

2) Do you know anyone personally who was killed by a force of nature? (Examples: tornado, hurricane, fire, flooding, avalanche, earthquake, mudslide, etc.)
If yes, please name the force of nature.
No, I don't know anyone who died in a natural disaster.

3) Do you know anyone who divorced a spouse and then remarried that same person again?
If yes, how did the marriage work out the second time? In other words are they still married or did they divorce again?
No, but my father divorced my stepmother, married and divorced someone else, then went back to my stepmother. They stayed together for the rest of his life but didn't remarry.

4) With the total of the 3 below, adding up to 100 percent of your fast food place visits, approximately:

What percent of the time do you eat inside the fast food restaurant?
What percent of the time do you go to the drive-through window?
I never go to fast food restaurants. 100%


5) Based on feelings, not facts/data, do you think that people who live in cities are less likely to use drive-throughs than suburban or rural people?
Yes, because there aren't that many drive-throughs in the city.

6) Name the type of places, other than fast food restaurants, where you personally use the drive-through rather than go inside the building?
We don't have any that I know of.

I just want to know who's going around getting ants drunk


1) It seems to me that in the old days, we got more shots from the doctor in places on our body that wasn't in one of our arms. Where is the last place you got a shot (from some medical professional or yourself) that wasn't in one of your arms?
many years ago, I think it was steroids and then pain medication


2) Do you know anyone personally who was killed by a force of nature? (Examples: tornado, hurricane, fire, flooding, avalanche, earthquake, mudslide, etc.)
If yes, please name the force of nature.
not anyone personally but there was a girl from my neighborhood when I was growing up that was killed in a fire.


3) Do you know anyone who divorced a spouse and then remarried that same person again?
If yes, how did the marriage work out the second time? In other words are they still married or did they divorce again?
I don't know of anyone personally who did this but those that I heard about, the second time around didn't work out either.


4) With the total of the 3 below, adding up to 100 percent of your fast food place visits, approximately:

What percent of the time do you eat inside the fast food restaurant?
About 20%
What percent of the time do you go to the drive-through window?

I never go to fast food restaurants.

5) Based on feelings, not facts/data, do you think that people who live in cities are less likely to use drive-throughs than suburban or rural people?
In large cities I would imagine they could walk to most everything available in their neighborhood so no drive-thru necessary. But I've never lived in a big city so not sure about that.


6) Name the type of places, other than fast food restaurants, where you personally use the drive-through rather than go inside the building?
dry cleaners, that's about it and that's rare
