my way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world

13. Did you have a crush on any of your school teachers? 
    not until college. It was a purely mental sexual attraction, based on conversation and curiosity, rather than the more obvious (and easy) physical.
14. What would you call your own restaurant and what would be on the menu? 
    I know enough about commerce to realize that I'd make a lousy restaurateur. If it was guaranteed to succeed, I think I'd like to own a breakfast and maybe easy lunch place. Small menu, short hours, low-key. 
15. Bacon: soft or crispy? 
    crispy, of course! There is no other satisfactory way to eat bacon.
16. What’s your favorite youtube channel? 
    I divide my youtube time between John Kirkwood, Dr. Todd Grande, Owlkitty, The Graham Norton Show, and Bo Johnson.
17. If, out of nowhere, a good looking stranger suddenly attempted to kiss you somewhere out on the streets, what would you do? 
    throat punch, bob & weave, yell, scratch, bite, knee, or run
18. Make a unique observation.
    I imagined, or realized, this morning that a friend from grad school is the kind of guy who would happily, comfortably, and authentically wear tennis shoes with a suit. I can completely and easily see him on a red carpet, looking simultaneously quaint and disarming.
19. Do you know anyone who still uses an old brick phone? 
    no, but I have a friend who has downsized and now only uses a non-smartphone. It's rebellious and agenda-driven, but I admire it and am almost jealous
20. What’s the biggest meal you ever had? 
    no clue. I don't remember the size of the meal, but the magic in it.
21. Do you know that feeling when one of your favorite products at the supermarket changes flavor, ingredients, packaging, and it’s just never the same? 
    nah, life is always changing so one might as well get over it
22. What’s the worst joke you know? 
     I don't tell jokes - mostly because I can't ever remember them!
