A couple of months ago Pat applied for a advertising internship at an agency that will remain unnamed. Since Pat is going to be a copywriter they sent him a list of questions to answer, to be able to see his creativity and the way he thinks.
I was in utter shock when I saw how Pat answered these questions, because I realized my husband is a genius. I have always known he was super creative, but didn't know he was a creative genius.
Amazingly enough, Pat did not get the internship. I don't understand it, but there must be a reason beyond what we can see now.
Take a look...
What are the most important and least important letters of the alphabet? Defend your choices.
Clearly, the most important letters of the alphabet are those that highlight the skill and bravery of our country's highly decorated skywriting pilots.
It's well known throughout skywriting guilds that only the best and bravest skywriters use the wicked "Double Back Letters." These are letters that can only be completed by turning the aircraft around for the finishing strike through. In skywriting, these letters divide the weak from the strong, the brave from the cowardly.
The dreaded "H" is perhaps the deadliest "Double Back Letter," of them all. Year to date, three pilots have died trying to cross the "H" on messages like, "Happy Birthday" or "Have a Nice Day."
Therefore, it is no surprise the least important letters in the alphabet are those that do not cause the pilot to turn back around to complete the letter. No one has ever died writing, "LOL."
Of all the clothes I own, my most beloved piece is...
...my
"Three Wolves Howling at the Moon" T-shirt. It is by far my most beloved piece of clothing, for on those days I wear that shirt, my masculinity is somehow increased. I feel as if the majestic powers on the shirt, both depicted and actual, fuse with my soul during use.

Which is your favorite finger and why?
My favorite finger is my right pointer finger because once I accidentally ripped some of it off.
Afterwords, at the hospital, a doctor replaced the missing portion with skin from my knuckle. However, no one has told my knuckle skin that it is now finger tip skin and that it doesn't need to keep growing hair.
Pros:
- My hairy finger comes in handy when I need a toothbrush, especially while camping.
- I can grip walls like Spiderman.
Cons:
- It frightens little children.
What is the longest period of time you've gone without sleep, and what was the reason?
Once I volunteered at a Red Cross shelter during a hurricane. I was assigned to guard the doors to the gym to ensure that old people did not escape and get blown away into the storm. I went two nights without sleep. I can happily report that the hurricane came and went and no old people were lost or hurt on my watch.

What insect do you like the best? Why?
The insects I like the best are lightning bugs because they defy all science and reason. Every other insect has evolved to camouflage itself from predators. This is not the case with the lightning bug, its a bug that actually glows in the dark. It's basically saying, "Hey I'm over here natural predators and scientists, why don't you kill me and/or experiment on me?"
What gets your vote for the most egregious grammatical mistake in a popular song lyric?
I vote for "Baby Got Back." Obviously, it should be corrected to,"This voluptuous female has a backside larger than most other women."
Of the last century, which is your favorite decade? Explain
Of the last century, my favorite decade was the 1940s. I know what you're thinking, "Who would like the 1940s--that's the decade a world war took place?" Sure, if you focus on death then perhaps the 1940s might not rank very high on your list. However, I choose to focus on life, and in 1945 life conquered over death.
On a small farm in Fruta Colorado a farmer was decapitating some chickens in the yard before lunch. Sometime later he noticed one of the decapitated chickens was still running around the yard like a chicken with its head cut off.
The next morning the chicken had survived the night without its head. The chicken would later become known as "Miracle Mike, the Headless Chicken." Mike lived for 18 months until a seed got caught in his feed hole and died.
To my knowledge this has not happened in another decade since, and until it does, the 1940s will always hold a special place in my heart.

What is your favorite time on a clock?
Undoubtedly, my favorite time on a clock is from my childhood. As a boy I use to play "Hot Lava" at my grandma's house, and my best jump was from the counter onto her grandfather clock.
What is your favorite dessert?
Fried Chicken.

A few weeks ago we went up to my sisters house for the weekend. My almost 8 year old nephew, Luke, had checked out this book from the library. While lounging around I picked up the book and read a few pages. I was shocked at how funny and witty it was. I was hooked! Then this past weekend my sister and I got two, let me repeat, TWO, massages on Saturday. While I waited for my turn, I read this book.
