What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?I think the funniest thing that ever happened to me occurred in a Hard Rock Cafe. My friends thought it would be hilarious to tell the waitress it was my birthday when it really wasn't. The table we were sitting at was in a back hallway away from everybody so it didn't seem like a big deal. But a few minutes later the waitress decided to take me and the rest of our table to the center of the restaurant and shine a spotlight on me. Somebody then came on the P.A. system and announced my birthday to everybody- at which point the entire restaurant sang to me and I got free ice cream.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would travel to Germany because I studied German in high school and we learned a lot about it. I would like to visit the places we talked about and see what it's like over there. I would also like to visit Italy. I plan to study Italian in college.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like to pass on to my son how to be a good guy and hopefully help him be successful.
