As a matter of fact, I do.

You know how Loveline would have this game called Germany or Miami, where they'd have all these crazy stories about things that happened in either one, kind of how they would say that almost everything crazy happens in one of those?

My region of Ohio is getting really crazy. First, we have a judge who drives drunk and pleads innocent, yet apologizing to us Ohians for her behavior.

Then we had a drunk driver driving a school bus loaded with kids. The parents DEFENDED this bus driver, saying "forgive him, don't arrest him."

Just yesterday, I hear about this teenage kid who was dared to squirt Raid in his mouth, which resulted in his death. The kid's parents are after the school - WHEN IT HAPPENED AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE. That's not even the most bizzare detail. The parents of this kid are after the school to go harsher on anti-drug classes.

No wonder why I harp on here so much about responsibility...

29. What did you want to be when you were little?

A baseball player.
