A bulletproof bullsh*t detector…

I used to own this book: If…(Questions for the Game of Life..

In an elegant, two-color format, punctuated with intriguing drawings, If . . . poses hundreds of questions ranging from practical to maddening, moral to hilarious–which, if read alone, inspire self-exploration; if shared, spark fascinating discussions at gatherings, dinner parties, or meetings.

Some people found the questions posed in the book fun at my dinner parties. Others just wished we could talk about something — anything — else!

Here are a few questions and answers just for fun…

Q: Would you accept 20 years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you would die at the end of the period?

A: I have never stolen anything. Not even childhood shoplifting.

Q: When you are given a compliment do you usually acknowledge it or suggest that you really do not deserve it?
