      Requisite first date question if I was a woman:
      "Do you have a tiny penis"?
      Based on stories from women I know who've gone home with him on the first date because he was great and struggled to hide their disappointment (and sometimes laughter) when the chonies came off. Just ask ladies! If he lies then he's got two strikes right?

If you don't care about having children, don't hurry into something you will be sorry for. And yes, my Husband says "As soon as you're gone, I'm gone." And you know I wish he could go on with out me, because I love him.

    Whenever someone takes a shot at John or really tickles him, he does that thing where he kind of winds up and squirms in laughter and bangs his hands on whatever is next to him... knees, table, desk,chair arms... It’s one of my favorite tics of his. Years back, Letterman took a shot at him about his wife in one appearance and John just about teetered over laughing banging on his chair.

      @@larissabechtle5690 not that rare, I'm at 21 years with my husband. It's about finding a friend. Lust fades, friendship endures. Have shared passions and hobbies and don't let others try to define your relationship. I'm sitting here at 12:07am waiting for him to get home from work so I can spend a few minutes with him before I have to go to bed for work. Seeing him is the highlight of my day. Even if it's stolen moments. I pray my son finds a wife who will want to lose a little sleep for a few minutes of laughter and I hope he's the kind of man who sets up the Keurig so she makes it to the work at a human being.

    He remembers the key of "One Week" within like a whole step, even though John Oliver primed him with the wrong key (I had to check the recording). I was impressed by his musical abilities and that led me to an emotional interview, referenced on his wikipedia page. It's cool to learn more about him.
