3 things about you that don't involve trailers, D.O.s or ...

[asianflava]

I couldn't think of any good ones but here are mine.

1) I wear a bunny suit at work. I don't get to use that priceless A&P license though.

2) Even though we are married only 5yrs, we've been together for 20.

3) I didn't speak English before Kindergarden, now I can't speak Filipino (Tagalog) anymore. I can still understand it, which means I know when they are talking about me.

Some friends ask, "how can you understand it but not speak it?" I reply, "I don't know, I have to translate it before saying it but the translations only work one way. "

i can tell you nothing except in the early 70s there was an incident involving some missing lab equipment and a professor's daughter.

This is one of the best threads ever, way to go Ma3tt!

Ive been married 30 years to my HS sweetheart, 3 kids who are 26,24,and 18.

I worked for UAB school of Medicine for 10 years before I decided on a late life career change a couple of years ago. Now I teach middle school, figured it would be better to teach children than medical students who act like children. Much happier now, and I get to coach tennis!

We are also former volunteer fire-medics, and I briefly worked for an ambulance service (loved it but started too late in life-it's a young person job).

I love to cook and it shows but I figure my bikini modeling days are over at 48 anyway!

We've been campers for over 30 years. My mom told all our family and friends to give us camping gear instead of china and crystal when we got married. We were 18 and 20 at the time and thought that was totally cool. We hit the road and haven't stopped camping since.

We've camped in Italy and in Germany at the foot of the Alps (awesome!).
We've camped in AL, LA, TX, Kansas, Nebraska, TN, FL, GA, MS, VA, and OK.

3. I own the record at my college for the longest sentence, correctly punctuated with the most words. (347)

Please put me on the email list when you are swamped with requests to see/read that sentence...

Thanks!

1. My wife of 46+ yrs is Hopi Indian. Her hometown Oraibi, Arizona was at one time, in at least one reference listed as the oldest continuously inhabited town in the USA (North America??).

2. I've visited all but one (Rhode Island) of the 50 states, & we've camped in most of them.

3. I was a USAF Air Traffic Controller for 20yrs & a cop for another 15. Worked part time at various jobs for another 5-6yrs to help pay for toys/trips, etc. Being fully retired beats all of em

3) have a tape of Ira's wife....

Who doesn't?

(It's a JOKE, guys--OKAY!? It has nothing to do with love or respect or anything. I love and respect her to death--it's just a JOKE!!! Please don't hit me with any bibles!!! I just can't help myself!!!)

[Nytewyng]

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration and children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all overdue. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only Beg-O-Matic and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
But I have not yet built a Teardrop Camper

I figured your leading statement ment your wife was a Saint when she met you and still is. No Bible throwing needed but a good thump from Saint Mrs is definately in order. (bet she has a great sense of humor or you wouldn't do that.)

1) When I was eight or nine, I ran away from school with my best mate Stephen. You'd think finding two boys walking through central London would take a while, but we were found and returned within hours. My parents were very impressed with the efficiency of the London police - until ten years later, when my friend Stephen's father retired from his dreary old civil service job, as it turned out he had been the boss of MI6, Britain's equivalent of the CIA. So maybe the police got a push.....

2) When I was 12 or 13 my family hired a boat on a canal in South West France. A crusty old lock-keeper said my French was a bit odd and did I come from the Lille area (that's North East France)? No doubt he meant this as an appalling insult, but it remains the proudest acheivement of my whole life!

3) I was made an honorary member of Solidarnosc (Solidarity), the Polish pro-democracy trade union led by Lech Walesa, when my company worked at the Gdansk shipyard in 1989 - before The Wall came down. It was very exciting and deeply scary at the same time - we didn't know then that the Russian tanks weren't coming and you'd be surprised how many noises sound like tanks in the distance, if you're real jumpy.

Ira only let us have three things, so I am unable to mention my most prized possession, a charming set of innocent photos of Ira's wife before she went into films - very 'artisitic', if you know what I mean.
