Under Averaged

According to this, I'm not at all average. I got 7 out of 15.

American Snapshot

According to the book, a majority of Americans:

• Eats peanut butter at least once a week
• Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky
• Can name all Three Stooges
• Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart
• Eats at McDonald's at least once a year
• Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day
• Never sings in the shower

7 out of 15, eh? That's what I matched, too. I may be way off average, but at least I'm in good company. :)

It seems that 7 out of 15 is the new black. Another year of this housing bubble and I'll be down to 6.

There are witches in my mailbox.
What am I to do?

I found them there this morning,
doing things they shouldn't do!!

How the witches got there,
I haven't got a clue.

But they won't be there much longer
because I'm sending them to

YOU!!!!!!

You've been Witch Kissed!

Before the warts begin to spread,
pass the kisses on instead!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

You've never fired a gun? I thought you had family in Utah. Get thee to a range, lady, and let 'er rip.

I do, but my parents just moved there a year ago.

I didn't realize a majority of people lived within 50 miles of their childhood home. Or don't sing in the shower! The shower is the BEST place to sing! ;-)

Ever lovely. Awww, I think the same of you, Ith.

Now, thanks for all the hits :D

You're welcome! Looks like this is a trackback fest.

Hi Ith,
I got 12 out of 15. Just missing: Eats peanut butter once a week (more like once a month).
Eats at McD's at least once a year (ew! have't eaten there in about 25 years!).
Grew up within 50 miles of current home. (nope, about 3,000!)
