    Yes, but did you kill them with your gun in the right hand while burping? Can't be too careful with these things. ROFL

    8/11!

    KK,
    as crazy as some of the answers are. I had heard of them before.

    I had problems with the 'flip the fish' and "toss the papers on the floor" answers!

    I'm staying home too!


    BTW - there was no correct answer to choose from regarding the left-handed fork!

    There was, at least it gave me a point for that - it was "eat right-handed" - which I know is culturally appropriate in some parts of the world, and there's no such thing as a left-handed fork anyway!

    Right - no such thing as a left handed fork - that's the answer I was looking for but wasn't there.

    6 out of 11 I know with Inuit if you are at a Potlatch you better eat all the food they offer you or they will be insulted & that includes blubber.

    5 of 11. Guess I won't be eating out either at home or abroad any time soon!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Richard, I guessed the "toss the papers on the floor" one just because it was so ridiculous. I still don't belive it though. I have been in Spanish cafes and I am sure I would have remembered if folks had been chucking their rubbish on the floor.

    The ones I got wrong were the "flip the fish" and the Scottish one.

    I've been in places in the south with bins of peanuts as something to munch on while you wait. In some places you toss the shells on the floor, in other places you'll get a backhand from the waitress for doing the same thing.

    In other words, probably a situationally dependent issue.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    They do the same here in Lone Star Steak House and Texas Roadhouse. They encourage you to do it!
