The-Been-Long-Wed Game

Sad facts:  68% of married American adults have learned more in the last year about their favorite celebrity than about their spouses.  (Source: The TV Bride – August, 2003)

54% of married American adults wouldn’t notice if their spouses were more than an hour late returning from work. (Source: The National Perspirer – January, 1998)

63% of married Americans do not consider their spouses to be their best friends.  (Source:  A used napkin I found under the table. – Yesterday)

99% of married Americans pass gas around their spouses without a second thought.  (Source: my rear.  By the way, I do not pass gas around Mrs. Teply.  I’m serious.)

Here’s a fun activity for you and your significant other.  In fact, you have a DodoEggs.com guarantee that the fun you will have beats the snot out of a half hour of television.  It’s a take on an old game show you probably know well.

The following twenty questions regard a medley of simple facts and deeper insights.  Look over them and see how many you can answer about your love interest then take them home and see just how many they can answer about you.  If you thought about it, you could probably come up with about a billion more.  

1. Who is their favorite author?
2. If given $500 dollars, what would he/she spend it on?
3. Who was their first kiss?
4. What was their most embarrassing moment?
5. Who was their best friend growing up?
6. What were they disciplined for most often as a child?
7. How did their parents meet?
8. What is their favorite flavor of ice cream?
9. Name a favorite song of theirs from high school.
10. How many speeding tickets have they earned?
11. If they could visit one place, where would they go?
12. What would be their realistic dream job?
13. What makes them angry the quickest?
14. What is their least favorite vegetable?
15. In a fire, what item would they be sure to rescue?
16. What was their favorite subject in school?
17. Quick, name their first car, favorite movie, and first pet.
18. What do they find most attractive about you?
19. If you died, how long would they wait before dating again?
20. How much did they weigh when they were born OR what color was their hair?

By the way, my money is on you and your love interest getting only half of these correct and that’s if you actually love each other.

    So, Matt,

    If you DID pass gas around “Mrs. Teply”, would she make you wash the dishes for a year?
