9. Tell me your favorite joke:
One night a guy walks into a bar and takes a tiny piano out of his pocket. He orders a drink, then produces from another pocket a man that was less than a foot tall, dressed in a tuxedo. After being placed on the bar, the little man walks to the piano and begins to play a sonata. The bartender is amazed. In all of his years and after all of the crazy things he's seen, this was the most unbelievable. So he asks the guy who walked in how he managed to find this tiny musician.
The guy hands the bartender a genie's lamp. The bartender grabs it eagerly, rubs it, and is greeted by an enormous genie, who emerges in a puff of smoke.
"What is your wish?" He asks the bartender in a booming voice.
"I want a million bucks!" The bartender cries.
In an instant, the genie is gone, and every door and window in the bar flies open as hundreds and hundreds of ducks come pouring into the bar, quacking and flapping around. "This isn't what I asked for!!" The bartender yells at the man.
"You're telling me! You think I asked for a nine-inch PIANIST?"
10. Have you ever kept anything from me?
There was this postcard I forgot to mail, but nothing major comes to mind.
11. What do you think of me as a Person?
I think you're a survivor, and a really cool person.

The only worthwhile people I know are insane in some way, so definitely insane.
13. Would you cry for me if I died?
Yes.
14. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Depends on the situation, but I usually wind up being the Jiminy Cricket. I'm trying to work on that, but old habits die hard.
15. If you could change anything about me, would you?
I'd see you more!
16. How do you fall asleep?
In bed.
17. Ever gotten angry with me?
Not that I can recall.
18. Would you go on a blind date if I set you up?
Probably.

Try to indulge in all 7 deadly sins. And not think about tomorrow.
20. A million bucks.. what would you do with it?
Pay off my debts and buy an apartment.

Spare time? What is this spare time?
