Quick question for you...

Here's a question that kind of relates to my post on Monday, and that I often wonder about:

If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?, as Mr. Lipton ask so eloquently on "Inside The Actors' Studio".

Last summer I actually did a post with his "Profile Questionnaire", actually I'm going to re-post it:

These 10 questions originally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. James Lipton asks his guests at the end of each show, and I think this is my favorite part of the whole thing.

I think this will be a quick way to get a "pretty good picture" of who I am, so here goes:

1: What is your favorite word? "wifecat"

2: What is your least favorite word? "I can't"

3: What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? "a good laught"

4: What turns you off? "stupidity"

5: What sound or noise do you love? "sound of rain on a roof or/and my cat's purr"

6: What sound or noise do you hate? "nails on a chalkboard"

7: What is your favorite curse word? "Fuck"

8: What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? "Chef"

9: What profession would you not like to do? "Politician"

10: If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "You took the long way, didn't you?"

Please let me know your answers... I'm curious.

P.S. I didn't link anything, since I had in the "original" post. Call me lazy!
