Than a slice of aged Cheddar,
In the mooooooooorningk.

(Read that in a Bugs Bunny singing voice for the full effect.) 1. What's the most extreme thing you've done to either generate sympathy or get out of a debt?
That depends. Do you mean extreme as in "a: existing in a very high degree b : going to great or exaggerated lengths : RADICAL c : exceeding the ordinary, usual, or expected " or do you mean it as in the omnipresent, seemingly mandatory for all products, "X-treme" marketing scheme such as Extreme Jell-O?

2. If someone paid for your education, what do you think you owe them in return?
Not a damned thing except gratitude unless there is a contractual obligation. This goes under the "gift or guilt" category. If something is freely given it is a gift and there is absolutely nothing owed for it. That is the (oft forgotten) nature of a gift. If the giver's intent is not a gift then that should be made very clear up front.

3. What's your fitness regimen?
Ping pong in the morning before breakfast and in the afternoon after lunch. One long walk on the weekend. Daily erobic workout courtesy of three psychotic children.

4. What is your most annoying habit that you know drives others nuts but are powerless to stop?
I'm a jiggler. I cannot sit for protracted periods without jiggling my leg. Usually my right one but occasionally the left. It is not a concious decision and I do not realize when it starts until somebody (usually Lovely Wife) mentions it. As a side effect I have very sexy calves.

5. What was your favorite vehicle (car, motorcycle, bike, skateboard, whatever)?
That I owned? That's hard to answer. I've never owned a vehicle I particularly cared about. For me there are two classes of vehicle: Dream machine and Whatever. I haven't purchased a Dream Machine yet so the rest just lump into a group of "ex-cars" in my memory. My most memorable car was a 1976 AMC Hornet stationwagon. Manual choke and 3 speed manual transmission with the shift on the steering column ("Three on the Tree"). I never liked the thing but it was a definite conversation piece. Accent on piece.
