Wasting a Friday afternoon

I stole this from my dear friend and older sister, Meghan Lewit, one of the funniest and most talented writers I know. 1.) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORD?--I like a lot of vernacular Marathi insults that my mother used to call me, such as "baurat" (idiot) and "faltoo" (useless). 2.) WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE WORD?--Slut. 3.) WHAT TURNS YOU ON?--Incredible talent with incredibly humility. 4.) WHAT TURNS YOU OFF?--Selfishness. 5.) WHAT SOUND DO YOU LOVE?--A full bodied orchestra tuning. 6.) WHAT SOUND DO YOU HATE?--Static on the TV. 7.) WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOURS WOULD YOU LIKE TO ATTEMPT?--Archaeologist. 8.) WHAT PROFESSION WOULD YOU NOT LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN?--A butcher. 9.) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CURSE WORD?--F**k. It is the most versatile swear, as it can be used as any part of speech. 10.) IF GOD EXISTS, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE HIM/HER TO SAY WHEN YOU REACH THE PEARLY GATES?--"Come on in, the tea's brewing." I'd like to inform everyone of what my brother says about me: "Geeta, you're the least funny out of our family. I mean, you are funny, but it's usually not intentional." Can anyone think of a better way to make someone feel like a Lemming than that? Here's my sister Neetu's answers: 1.) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORD?--collude 2.) WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE WORD?--the typo "alot." It's 2 WORDS, people, 2 WORDS! 3.) WHAT TURNS YOU ON?--Generosity. 4.) WHAT TURNS YOU OFF?--Emotional unresponsiveness and superficiality. 5.) WHAT SOUND DO YOU LOVE?--Heels on a wooden floor. 6.) WHAT SOUND DO YOU HATE?--Motorcycles revving their engines on a street. People who don't dig into the violin enough with their bow. Oh, and trumpets. Friggin' trumpets (sorry). 7.) WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOURS WOULD YOU LIKE TO ATTEMPT?--Advice columnist. 8.) WHAT PROFESSION WOULD YOU NOT LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN?--Accountant. 9.) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CURSE WORD?--Assclown, as in "no talent assclown." 10.) IF GOD EXISTS, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE HIM/HER TO SAY WHEN YOU REACH THE PEARLY GATES?--"Due to space shortages, it looks like you're going to have to share a room with Matt Damon."
