'Do You?'
"Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Don't drink don't smoke - what do you do?
Subtle innuendos follow
There must be something he's hiding"
- Adam Ant
Smoke: Never
Drink: No (not much more than a few drinks on rare occasions, maybe two or three times a year; I've gotten drunk twice, and I'm apparently a dopey drunk: I lounge around a smile a lot, and nod off to sleep)
Good habits: Normally better-than-average manners (sincere thanks to my parents)

Sing: It's best if I didn't
Dance: I did once or twice - I had to drink a little first each time, and I hope everyone else drank enough not to remember it
