This is so much fun!
Becky - I almost didn't guess for you because I was so sure
I figured you'd have told me about your PhD.
Mindi - #4 is your lie?
Jeaninevp922 - #2?
For me, those of you who guessed #3 were correct. I had A LOT to drink on my 21st b-day but not 21 drinks (although I have seen people do it, no idea how though...maybe they were better at boot and rally? Once I booted, it was over).
#1). I was 17 and driving down I-95 at about 90 mph (speed limit 55) just north of the NC boarder when I passed a cop (he was on the right shoulder). Lights came on and he whipped out into traffic. Fortunately there were a ton of trucks in the right lanes (I was in the far left lane) and I *think* he must have had trouble getting his speed up because I hit the gas (110 mph! The fastest I have EVER driven before or after) and watched him turn off his lights and just pull back over to the side of the road. I guess he figured it wasn't worth it. I exited at the next exit and took back roads the rest of the way! That incident scared the crap out of me and I rarely speed, even to this day.
#2). I DID hang up on President Bush - but it was Bush Senior and it was a total accident. I was working as an intern in Sen. Christopher Dodd's office (I was 16) and they had me answering phones. Not a big deal, you answer the phone and either take a message if it is a voter or transfer the call. Well Bush calls and asks to speak to "Chris" (i.e. Sen. Dodd) so I get ready to transfer him over. Unfortunately I think I was a little nervous or something because I totally dropped the call. Whoops. They took me off the phones after that
#4). Not only are Atlanta and Texas true, but the DC part is true too
I grew up just outside of DC and I did indeed get lost in a snow storm. I was about 9 and it was snowing really really hard. My sister and I went out to play and went down to the creek to slide on the ice. Well the ice wasn't 100% solid so we ended up falling through in a couple of places (it wasn't THAT deep, but enough to soak our boots and the bottoms of our snowpants). Instead of following the creek back to our house we decided to go up to the street and find our way. Unfortunately it was snowing so hard we had NO IDEA where we were. We wandered around for a bit when FINALLY a car slowed down (I guess the driver was very concerned about seeing two children wandering around in a blizzard) and asked if she could help us. I asked if she knew where our street was and fortunately we were almost there! We pretty much ran home. Sadly, I am not even really sure my parents knew we were gone. Of course after I told my mom what we had done (we were crying because we had been scared and cold) she was soooo mad at me. Didn't really seem fair if she hadn't noticed we were gone.
