If they are trustworthy. So many who aren't are either transparent or overly chummy.
What class in school did you think was totally useless?
I guess the worst was a Rusian civilization course I took my last term as an undergraduate. The instructor was an air-head. She loudly informed everyone at the beginning of the class it was an 'experiment in learning.'. She declared, we didn't have to show up, but had to complete two projects. After several weeks of nothing I can remember, one of the women spoke up and asked that the class have some content. There was a big fight in class between the goof-offs who enjoyed doing nothing in class and a few of us who were actually interested in learning something about Russian civilization. The teacher sided with the goof-offs. The result was that several of us never went back to class. Instead we met and discussed life during that time at the nearby student union. Those of us who walked out, were mostly headed to grad school. We had sense enough to do the two projects and turn them in. Some of the goofs-offs didn't. There were some very unhappy goof-offs when the grades came out.

A white tuxedo. What kind of question is that?
What was your favorite toy as a child?
I had two. Indoors, it was a set of plastic building blocks. (You people who who were young enough to have legos as children don't know how lucky you were.) Outdoors, we had a stack of assorted lumber maybe tweny feet by thirty and about four feet high in places, left over from building a sizable building. There were places to sit. The top was flat enough to run around on. For me it was everything from a space ship, to a race car. to a sailing pirate ship.

Re: Fessing, is that a verb?
you 'fess up
he, she or it 'fesses up
thou 'fessest up...
or Biblical - He, that 'fesseth up...
I think it's from pro-Germanic 'upzufessen' meaning 'You can't fool me.'

Re: Fessing, is that a verb?
I guess I am still evasive!
