so, i was standing behind the counter at my work, and two japanese kids in school uniforms came up to me and asked me to fill out their quiz. this happened to me once freshman year, and the questions were like "how many hours a week do you study?" etc., etc. so i agreed. the first one hands me his sheet of paper. the first question is "How many close friends do you have? A)over 10 B)6-9 C)1-5 D)0" The questions continued on in a similar fashion. Eventually I came to this one: "How do you choose your friends?" and one of the options was money but none of them were drug use. The questions started to get a little weirder. Things like "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend in college?" and "How important is it to have a boyfriend/girlfriend in college?" I finish it, give it back, and laugh a little. THEN, the second kid hands me HIS sheet of different questions. The first question on this one was "Are you for or against cohabit before marriage? A)For B)Against." No joke. There were some other weird ones asking me about percentages of people who live together/sleep together before marriage. Like I know the statistics. They continued on like this: "What is the main reason for cohabit before marriage? A)know each other better B)sex." "Who is most affected by cohabit before marriage? A)men B)women C)both D)It depends. AND THE KICKER, my favorite question: "What is the worst consequence of cohabit before marriage? A)abortion B)bastard C)single parent D)divorce." Bastard, you guys. Really. I could not stop laughing. The kids apologized for wasting my time, but I insisted that they had done me a great service.
Sometimes reality is perfect.
