I'm honest, trustworthy and dependable -- I'd make a good dog. I don't run red lights at 3 a.m., and if a cashier gives me too much change then I return the balance. I love to sing, but am terrible at it. I read books, play sports, exercise, watch movies, listen to all sorts of good music and like eating just about anything that doesn't contain onions. I've touched four of the five oceans, traversed two of the seven continents, and plan to one day drive around Tuscany and Ireland. I believe that you can judge an Italian restaurant by the quality of its chicken parmigiana, and that you can learn much about a person by noticing when they choose to smile. I'm the original owner of a 1995 Jeep that I bought during my first week in a full-time job. And I sometimes wonder: Can you use Gummi Worms to catch Swedish Fish?
(For the record, I wrote that last line in a humor column five years before Lisa uttered it on The Simpsons. I have the clipping to prove it.)
