I'm assuming that you mean my own snot or earwax rather than someone else's. Snot has a salty tang to it which gives it some flavor while earwax is flat and bitter.

Gonna go with the Inca city. My memory from my past lives is always getting lousy seats at the Colosseum, the gladiators looked like insects, you could hardly see the blood and guts at all. The mead was overpriced and watery, it cost a big pile of denari to park your chariot...and that business that Caligula started where you had to buy seperate tickets for your slaves and handmaidens....it got to be too huge a ripoff.

Just shore up South Korea, which has been a pretty good democractic success story as well as a fine US ally over the years, and try and keep the damn North Koreans pinned up in their own little corner of the world. N. Korea is the most preposterously totalitarian state on the planet. Not much we can do about their nukes other than threaten them with extinction if they start using them.

What is the worst job?

That would vary from person to person depending upon the individual pathology in question. Some might be horrified by the endless dullness, repetition and absense of socializing which comes with working a toll booth. Others might find that better than some job which calls for great physical exertions.

For me, the worst job is the one that I have regardless fo what it is. I've never made any sort of secret that I am not the one who would be selected as the poster boy for the work ethic. I've liked my jobs that I have had in direct relationship to the amount of goof off time I was able to arrange and sustain. My philosophy stems from the realization that no one ever has a tombstone which reads "I wish I had worked a lot more."

Have you saved all your Q&As?

Why are there so many words for male genitals in the American vernacular? Is this an American phenomenon or world wide? Are the Austin Powers’ shticks hard to translate?

Those things which generate the most awkwardness in discussion tend to be those things which generate the greatest number of euphemisms. Consider all the alternatives to bathroom....the can, the crapper, the pisser, little boys/girls room etc. Or masturbation...jerk off, whack off, jack off, Mary Five Fingers, slam the ham, beat the meat etc. A promiscuous woman is a slut, a whore, a floozy, a bimbo, a scarlett woman etc.

That's why.

Who was your favorite professional wrestler growing up and why?

[skrable]

My memory is that they kicked you out of the Colosseum for starting the wave, which you blamed on me and led to my being shackled for six weeks. Or have you conveniently forgotten about that?

If a train was moving west at 24 mph and a train moving east 17 mph started 192 miles apart, how many people could JoseA eat with a straw?
