Test Questions

Last weekend our church sponsored a women's event for the entire Kenai Peninsula.  It was great.  There were at least 250 women there, which is amazing considering the small population around these parts.  To warm up the crowd, the mistress of ceremonies asked some questions.  If your answer was yes, you stood up and then sat down again.  The questions were very interesting, like a test toward the goal of becoming a sourdough.   Keep in mind that someone stood for every question and the audience was women only.

1.  Who traveled 100 miles or more to get here?
2.  Who has traveled from the other side of the Bay to get here?  (that would be by boat in sub-zero weather)
3.  Who went mountain climbing on their honey moon?
4.  Who wears X-tra Tuffs at least 50% of the time?  (remember the boots I told you about a couple months ago?)
5.  Who has shot a bear?
6.  Who has driven more than 50 miles on a snow machine?
7.  Who has eaten seal; who has eaten whale?
8.  Who has field-dressed a moose?
9.  Who is a musher? (dog sled driver)
10. Who has road kill in their freezer?  (In AK when a moose is killed by a vehicle the vehicle is far more damaged than the moose but the moose is put down and then given to a citizen whose name is on a registration list.  That person has to get the carcass immediately, no matter what time day or night, and take care of dressing, carving, freezing.
11. Who has a car with no rust?  (There is no inspection of cars or required auto insurance in  AK.)
12. Who has cut your own hole for ice fishing?
13. Who has used an Uzi? (Say, what??)
14. Who has lived in a house with no water?  (This is VERY common here!)
15. Who is packing heat?  (Really?)

After listening to these questions and observing the responses, I realized I'm still a cheechako, not even waving at sourdough yet.  I stayed seated for all but one question.  I'll let you guess which one prompted me to stand.  Here's a hint-----thank you, Toyota.
