1. If your car/bike is wrecked (if your mass transit service goes belly-up), do you know what you would do to replace it, perhaps even have the car or bike you want already picked out?

I’d probably buy another bike to replace my bike, or get Molly to drive me to work if the TTC decided to strike again.

…wait… did I say “get Molly to drive me to work”…? I meant “ask Molly to drive me to work”. Yeah. No sense getting myself murdered for no good reason.  

2. A client/friend gives you a lottery ticket, which wins you a prize worth (after taxes) ten times as much money as you earned/received last year. What will you do with it?

I’d buy that friend a lottery ticket in return, wish them all the luck in the world, and then take off on a much needed vacation. I’d also send postcards from where ever I was, thanking them again for the lottery ticket, and tell them how much I am enjoying myself.

You see…? THAT would be a good reason for me being murdered.  

3. Fight or flee?

Does “kick aggressor in the nuts” fall under “fight” or “flee”…?

4. Someone performs a random act of kindness that is exactly what you need on a bad day. If you wish to pay them back, would you write a poem, bake, buy something, or what?

Depends on who they are. A stranger? Give them a smile and thank them. A friend? I’d return the favour with beer, or if that’s not their thing, give them a smile and thank them. Hey, if they’re not going to accept beer, then what else can I get them?!

5. Your manager commands you to pick a charity to contribute to. Do you resist? If not, which charity would be your first choice?

That question is ridiculous.

But, if I was going to contribute to a charity, it would be either to the Sunnybrook Hospital or the Princess Margaret Hospital. Both gave me a few more months with my Father, and for that I am eternally grateful.
