Well Z, it looks like those of us who have purchased a pickup, served in the military, eaten at Outback, and come from people who worked for a living are all pegging the meter on this drill.

I didn't serve in the military, but my parents were po' when I was born....

Helps that there is a Ruby Tuesday's in the mall right across from a Billy Beez (indoor playground with about 50 slides...fucking awesome place, if it weren't for kids) where I take my oldest soon about once a month.

I retook the test. I didn't lie, but I decided to see what would happen if I said yes to the truck question (but then noticed Ruby Tuesdays on the list so I added that).

Went from 31-37.

BTW, the Jimmie Johnson listed is the NASCAR driver and not the Hair coach, right?
I straight up guessed which one that was as I wasn't sure of the correct spelling
