The "Inside the Actor's Studio" questionnaire

Somehow this got into my head this morning.

Lipton always gave credit for the questions to Bernard Pivot, a French talk show host, though some credit is often given to the novelist Marcel Proust. I guess it turns out that all three versions are different from each other.

Anyway, I thought maybe we could have some fun with it.

You forgot: what tree would you be:

I would be an old forgotten gnarled apple tree in an old farm. Century of food source for wild animals and beautiful flowers every spring.

I will quote what James himself said about heaven:
When I get to Heaven, he will say, “ Hey Lake, you were wrong. I do exist. But I’ll let you in anyway.

but I'll answer it.

I'd be an olive tree. A symbol of peace, and not a tree anyone would usually consider chopping down.

well, not for pay.

I worked for the Farm Bureau and some friends of friends of people I worked with had some sort of issue with getting their turkeys wrapped up after slaughter. A bunch of us went to help.

Never would I ever have imagined being around all those turkey guts.
