Least Common Poll (Part II) and New Toy

Stepmom psp I was surprised by the results of the last quiz I posted. I was thinking of this in terms of Americans only, though I don’t think that should affect the outcome much aside from the fact that people in 3rd world countries probably wouldn’t be concerning themselves with math jokes and such. But something like catching on fire could happen accidentally anywhere. Also, with the fire, I had originally pictured a stop-drop-and-roll kind of scenario. Just someone running around engulfed in flames. That seemed pretty uncommon to me. But then I was thinking about people who have an oven mitt on or something that they’re not paying attention to on the stove. And that could catch on fire. I think that would count as well.
So, then, I was thinking of this in terms of an average lifetime. How many times might this happen in a person’s life? How many people might each thing happen to? One night stand, I guess I’m not terribly familiar with and, as far as I know, few of my friends engage in this behavior. But people who choose to might hang out with other people who are more inclined to choose to, so my anecdotal evidence is not a good basis, though nor is TV and movies a good basis upon which to estimate. Smoking marijuanna seems pretty common, as was reflected in the responses, so I’ll just leave that alone. Math/Physics jokes… It’s just a joke. Doesn’t cost money so it doesn’t take much effort and you don’t really have to work for it, but you don’t tell one accidentally and likly only a certain type of person would do it.

So cool. My sis got it for me so I can take it swimming. I might just use it when I go running in the rain for now though. I need to find a new gym/pool in the area.
