Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can.



Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've one each of them...really. Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something)........

Unless tomato and carrot are the same thing - I'm not normal(and yes I'm aware tomatoes are technically fruits but it was the first thing I thought of.)

That's wild because the only other person here who wasn't normal also said tomatoe!

I'm not normal, either. I was thinking of the broccoli I just had with my lunch.

I thought of sugar snap peas. (Probably because I was already thinking about what to make for dinner.)

But then, I never claimed to be normal in the first place.

I thought of carrot, and I don't even like carrots that much (don't hate them, they just don't ever make my list of veggies). I wonder what that means?

My Aunt said the same thing, she's definitely not normal! I wonder why no one says corn, peas or green beans. Most have said carrot, but a few have said, tomatoe, squash and broccoli! What could it all mean???

I too am a bit freaked out by that. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I am "normal"

Well, now you've confirmed it, I have never been "normal" and most likely, never will be! Cucumbers!

Do you think the cucumbers will outrun the carrots?

Its well on the way to surpassing the "carrot" answers. Is there some secret link between compliance officers and cucumbers I'm not aware of?

Kewl. I was cucumbers as well.
I was really beginning to think I was strange, guess not.
But then again, I have never been thought of as normal

I do know that Dawnie mentioned cucumbers in another post. I'll bet she'll pick cucumber, too!

Wow! Normal people comprise 98% of the population, but seemingly (in our unscientific study) less than 20% of the compliance folk!

So either compliance makes normal people abnormal, or normal people tend to steer clear of compliance? What do youse (or "all y'all") think?

Well, I knew I wasn't normal, but I'm really wondering why I chose tomato. I hate tomatoes!!!
