20 More Questions Every Woman Should Ask Herself
Spend some time with our second annual roundup of essential questions, and we promise you'll discover things about yourself—remarkable, rewarding things—that you never anticipated.
Am I Funny?
Okay, let me ask a few more questions here.
Are you currently accessorized in any of the following: a lamp shade, clown shoes, plastic Groucho glasses attached to a phony nose and mustache?
Do you have a tendency to squirt people with a seltzer bottle, slip on banana peels, blow your nose into an 11-foot multicolored silk handkerchief?
Have you ever started a story with the words,"An aardvark and a tuba player walk into a bar..."?
Frankly, funny will always be in the eye and/or ear of the beholder. But for my money, a subversive wit, a deep appreciation of quirk and an unwavering willingness to say what we're all thinking beat anybody modeling a lampshade. In fact, I'd say if you answered no to any of the questions above, chances are you're on the right track.
