No, but I had trouble breathing. Such moments often occur at immature slapstick humor presented in crude but hilarious movies. As much as I try to avoid them ;)

Have you ever been to Bass and Pro Shops(I think this is 'Murica only)


Mellow Stego

Yes, very cool stores even if you're not into outdoorsy activities.

Have you ever been in a big box store when the electricity goes out?

Keep calm and love dinosaurs

Newt

Yes. I worked in a big box store for several years, it was definitely an odd experience to be there when the power went out. We had backup generators, but it took them a few minutes to come online, during which there were hundreds of people in the dark in this labyrinthine space.

Have you ever had to work a whole day in soaking wet clothes?

Bowhead Whale

Yes. Back in 1992, (I was 15 years old) I was hired as a mail person by my own school. And they put the mail of the 17th avenue along with the 17th avenue SOUTH. I walked all day long to find this "$%&¬¦South 17th avenue... which actually was at the other end of the town!!! And I was ssoooo tired and ssooo sweaty... Finally, I had a car lift to deliver the mail to the houses of the 17th avenue South... And I was back home in the evening.

Have you ever had to go to the bathroom in a place that was not a bathroom at all (but that was all you found to relieve yourself)?

Halichoeres

Well, I've collected fish for museums in some fairly remote locations, so yes, that's part of the job.

Have you ever flattened coins on a railroad track?
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Stegotyranno420

Nope, but seems like a fun "good ol' days" activity I'd like to try, maybe.

Have you ever been stabbed

Bowhead Whale

Yes. But it was by the doctor to remove two big stones from my kidney. And it was extremely painful when I woke up after the operation...

Have you ever had a surgery too?

Halichoeres

I had to see a podiatrist about a toe after a work accident once, and he called what he did a surgery, but I watched him do it and left twenty minutes after completion, so I'm going to say not really.

Have you ever ridden in a tow truck?

Frequently. I've been the owner of many a clunker that left me stranded on one forlorn highway or another. 

Have you ever been walking on something you thought was solid, but learned you were wrong the hard way?

Halichoeres

#1589
Yes, an excellent way to fill waders or boots with marsh water.

Have you ever been to a casino?

No, gambling is against my religion.

Have you ever sprayed a toxic material in your eyes by accident-but didn't feel anything harming you and got off perfectly fine?

Newt

I've never been so lucky, no. (Pro tip - do not get formalin in your eye. It is not fun.)

Have you ever told a white lie to spare somebody's feelings?

Stegotyranno420

I do it unconsciously, but I still have the reputation of "brutally honest" for some reason.

Have you ever had teacher who was on a game show(Family Feud)


Halichoeres

Not that I'm aware of, but a guy I went to school with made an appearance on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Have you ever fired a crossbow?

I have actually, a cool experience I must say

Have you ever been attacked by an animal?

Stegotyranno420

Yes.

Have you ever fought off said animal?

Halichoeres

I've had plenty of adverse interactions with animals, but I don't think I can accurately describe the outcome of any of them as "fought off," unless squishing a horsefly counts.

Have you ever toilet papered a house or a tree?

Have you ever swam in a river?

I always thought of you as the last person to do that haha.

I don't think I have swam in there.

Have you ever taken a college level class in highschool

Heh, posing the question does not constitute a confession!

Back to the game:
Yes, I expect that's pretty common in this crowd.

Have you ever gotten a piercing?
