If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. Shakespeare. I'd treat him to a pint.

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Since it's snowing in NH -- on a beach. Q. What’s your best quality? A. I'm fiercely loyal.
