I got a little carried away trying to make up multiple-choice questions for a fundraising �Date-Match Program.� Example question that I submitted to the group:

- You're helping sort items at the Salvation Army one day, when lo-and-behold the old lamp you were cleaning up turns out to contain a genie. He is, unfortunately, kind of a lame genie and begins putting so many provisos on what wishes he can and cannot grant that he eventually just gives you four options, to make everyone's life easier. You choose:
a. A wonderful, happy, cruelty-and-disease-free, loving, magically-not-illegal pet monkey.
b. The ability to always pick the right movie to watch - whether it be which one you want to go see in theaters, which one will be perfect for the social gathering, or which one will put a certain special someone right into your arms.
c. An unlimited lifetime supply of delicious baked goods (with the proviso that said baked goods can't cure world hunger or anything - our genie isn't that powerful, obviously, they are simply delicious baked goods for you and your friends/family to share).
d. The ability to speak with llamas. We don't know if llamas are saying anything interesting - heck, we don't know if they're saying anything at all. However, if llamas ARE saying interesting, or not-interesting, things you can understand it. You can communicate with the llamas and tell them all your llama-esque thoughts. If it can be done, you can lead the great llama rebellion.
e. You're a little sketched out by this genie. You choose not to gamble on any of his weird wishes and go back to sorting. The genie shrugs it off, picks up his lamp, and retires to Boca.

PROCRASTINATION ALSO RHYMES WITH �STATION!�

If any of those girls from long ago were to run across this old thing, they�d know why the �also� is in bold. It�s because I�m a winner 2xtreme!
