Thread Name: BS: To see ourselves as others see us
Subject: RE: BS: To see ourselves as others see us

American excess MORE from our quiz entitled Are You An American? which appears to have struck a chord with a few readers. * You wake up in the morning with a stiff neck after sleeping in an awkward position. What do you do?

(a) Ignore it. It will probably loosen up as the day progresses.
The true Midwestern American attitude.

* What do you have for breakfast?

(a) A bowl of cornflakes, slice of toast, and a mug of tea.

(b) Glass of orange juice, croissant, and a cup of coffee.

(c) A bag of doughnuts with ice-cream, a 32-ounce steak with six eggs sunny side-up, 15 pancakes with maple syrup, 10 waffles, five corn dogs, and a diet root beer.
Breakfast? What's that? Just gimme two cups of coffee black.

* There is a war in another part of the world; do you:

(a) Monitor to see if human rights are being infringed and step in when necessary.

(b) Monitor to see if human rights are being infringed and bring the culprits to justice.

(c) Invade the country, flattening all buildings, fire at all allied and enemy airplanes, killing people no matter which side they're on - after all, a kill is a kill.
None of the above. There's nothing I could do except get killed. What's the use in that?

* You and your partner decide to take the plunge and get married. What sort of ceremony do you have?

(a) A quiet party with a few friends in a registry office.

(b) A church service followed by a traditional reception at a hotel.

(c) A minute-long mockery at a 24-hour drive-through chapel in Las Vegas, presided over by a transvestite vicar dressed as Elvis.
Oh they say they never wed in Kansas
Oh they say they never wed in Kansas
Oh they say they never wed
They just tumble into bed
Or so I've heard it said
In Kansas.
