  2. Mack D. Male Says: November 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am Heh, 10 out of 20, not bad.
  3. Brad Grier Says: November 14th, 2008 at 8:54 am # 21 – You score 3 or higher on the above test.
  4. Alain Saffel Says: November 14th, 2008 at 9:59 am I scored 11 out of 20. :) How did I score 1 higher than you Mack?
  5. Megan Says: November 14th, 2008 at 11:30 am Because Mack wasn’t being honest with himself. :)
  6. Mack D. Male Says: November 14th, 2008 at 10:02 pm I don’t have kids, nor a BlackBerry, and I keep electronics out of the bathroom!
  7. Brittney Le Blanc Says: November 18th, 2008 at 9:17 pm I noticed that Mack didn’t deny #16… Although I think that one is more just a funny creep-your-friends out.I think another should be – You’ve twittered: Pooping.Also… I only got 5. Woo!
  8. Alain Saffel Says: November 19th, 2008 at 9:27 am Yes, Mack didn’t say anything about 16. I don’t know if anyone would. There has to be someone out there who has. Not me!#7 is kind of alluding to that one Brittney. I just didn’t want to go into gory detail.You only have 5 now. Talk to us in a year. :)
  9. Brittney Le Blanc Says: November 19th, 2008 at 9:42 am I have another one… if you’ve ever written twitter responses while on the phone with the recipient… you’re on twitter too much.
  10. Alain Saffel Says: November 19th, 2008 at 9:49 am Speaking from experience possibly?? ;)
  11. Amrita Says: November 19th, 2008 at 5:22 pm Phew, I only got 5 out of 20. There is hope for me yet! :)
