Have you ever....?

[deer of the dawn]

Ask if the next person has had a particular experience, assuming you have done it or it's happened to you.

For example:

Have you ever been subpoenaed? (Yes, I have, but it is for the next person to answer and ask their own question.)

[Cord Hurn]

No, I haven't.

Has anybody here ever flown in a helicopter?

[deer of the dawn]

When I was a kid I got to get on one, but it didn't take off. :/

Have you ever found a slug on your toothbrush?

[Linna Heartbooger]

No, but once I was sitting on the front step inside my home, (a basement suite in Vancouver*) and I reached over to a pick a piece of chocolate off a pot-holder, only to find... it was a slug!

Have you ever owned a tortoise?
(Box turtles don't count though, apparently. I thought they were tortoises, but I was wrong.)

* that place had some of the most amazing huge slugs!

[deer of the dawn]

I lived in the Northwest for a couple years and remember the banana slugs. They really were remarkable creatures!

But no, I have not owned a tortoise. I know someone who has two huge ones here, but not me. I have an elderly cat, a neurotic dog who is afraid of little children, a canary with a deformed wing, and a one-eyed parrot, but no tortoise.

Have you ever had a bird land on your head? (I have, twice!)

[Linna Heartbooger]

I have, many, many times.
But it was my pet cockatiel. And probably the lovebird I owned later.
(What bird(s) have you had land on your head?)

Have you ever gotten enough library fines in one month to... to.. make it almost worth having just bought the books flat-out?

[deer of the dawn]

Lol, I think I did that once!

Have you ever touched a wildebeest?

[Cord Hurn]

I can't say that I have! Did you touch one, deer?

Have you ever had a falcon on your shoulder before?
(I have once, a kind of bird that's known as a merlin.)

[aTOMiC]

I have never had a falcon on my shoulder. I can't imagine the scenario that would offer that experience.

Have you ever appeared on television?
(I was on a public access television show for an hour.)

[deer of the dawn]

I have, a few years ago in Nigeria. I didn't see it but I heard about it.

Have you ever hand-fed an owlet? (preceded by cutting dead white rats into bite-size chunks with tin snips)

[aTOMiC]

I have never been close enough to an owlet to feed one.


Have you ever jumped head first into the shallow end of a swimming pool, impacted the bottom with your face and ended up with several stitches in your split lip?

[Cord Hurn]

No, fortunately I have never had a diving injury. Perhaps because I jump into the water or was into it much more than I dive.

Have you ever had someone prank you by putting hot sauce on your sandwich before they served it to you?

[sgt.null]

no. i am enough of a hothead

have you ever danced in the pale moonlight.
