    Ever wonder how you stack up against other non-revs? Well this quiz (actually it's more of a survey) will compare your response to the responses of a control group of non-revs and thereby scientifically determine where you stand on the bell curve. Please note that this survey was conducted while respondents were watching a football game, therefore data maybe be slightly skewed. All data results were processed by hand and calculator.
    <UL TYPE=SQUARE>
    1---You've been bumped off the last flight of the day by a late arriving co-worker. You suspect some devious tactics were employed. ( and no I don't know what tactics, I'm describing a hypothetical situation) Weeks later as luck would have it, he/she walks right pass you, you turn to him/her and....

    A---Shake your head at how unfair life can be, but later go to the library and get a book on curses, just in case there's a next time.
    B---Tell him you want to learn from the master and would love to learn how to manipulate the system.
    C---Execute a quick blow to the nose, followed by a foot stomp to the toes...hey you always wanted to do that, besides this is a hypothetical situation.
    D---Demand an explanation for his actions, then excute a quick blow to the nose, followed by a foot stomp to the toes --don't you just love hypothetical situations?

    2---You go to a restaurant for dinner, you have an entree and a main course, now it's time for dessert, what do you have?

    A---Fruit
    B---I order anything that has the word chocolate in it?
    C---Peanuts
    D---I eat the sugar bowl
    E--Nothing was mentioned about a beverage, I always have a few drinks with dinner.

    3---Dracula is to sunlight as non-revs are to...

    A---TSA
    B---computers (company websites)
    C---Customs/immigration
    D---Little Ashley (age 4) singing the ABC song 17 times in a row.

    4---Alright a little honesty here, which phrase describes your fashion style?

    A---Jeans and khakis
    B---Anything black
    C---Wrinkled but clean
    D---I don't know, I wear a uniform at work and at home it's whatever is clean
    E---Tattoos, enough said.

    5---You've made the flight, 14 hours from now you'll be in London. You make your way back to 36E and discover you're seated in the middle of Abraham Lincoln High's annual senior class trip. What do you do?

    A---Commit suicide right then and there, why put off the inevitable.
    B---Grab your carry-on and head for the door
    C---Sit quietly and focus on your breathing...you can do this Zen master.
    D---Is this suppose to be a problem?

    6---How do you feel about the color red?

    A---Roses/romatic/love
    B---Pain/Definitely Bad news
    C---Fire/heat/warmth
    D---Bold/dynamic
    E---I'm not sure what I think
    F---What does this have to do with non-reving? I don't get it.

    7---Now lets think about a situation:
    You've been stuck at the airport for 15 hours, during the long hours you've made friends with a lovely non-rev family of six who are going on their first family vacation in four years. In fact you've become so chummy with the family that little Jody has shown you photos of her pet bunny Muff and told you how she is really looking forward to the "Disney Princess breakfast" the next day. The gate agent comes over to you and whispers that there are only six seats left on the next flight, the last flight of the day (isn't it always) and because you have a higher priorty you would bump one member of the family, she asks what do you want to do....

    A---Gather your things, say a quick good-bye and head off for the plane. You have reservations for the Princess Breakfast too and aren't missing breakfast at Cinderella's Castle for some family you just met at the airport.
    B---You get on the plane, but feel bad about it. Fortunately a few drinks always make you feel better.
    C---Give up your seat, but tell the agent you want to give the good news to the family yourself, you enjoy doing a good deed...besides having an executive vice president of human resourses in your debt, isn't too bad of a trade.
    D---Get on the plane and eagerly wait to see which member of the family is left behind. After all you go catatonic when they ask "paper or plastic" at the supermarket.[/list]

    Ok, lets see how you stack up.

    1. A
    2. E
    3. D
    4. C
    5. E (quadruple the dose of sleeping pills I'd plan to take!)
    6. A
    7. C (While a "princess breakfast" [oh my, I'm going to leave that one alone! ] wasn't involved, we have given up our seats to a family in the past. Now where did I put that tiara?

    p.s. by the way you didn't mention the amount of beer that was involved in this football game/quiz!

    Yeah Randy, given the right incentive, even fans totally engrossed in a football game will turn their attention to a survey.

    Beer - Because one doesn't solve the world's problems over white wine.

    Aviation Quiz-15 The results have been tabulated
    <UL TYPE=SQUARE>
    1---You've been bumped off the last flight of the day by a late arriving co-worker. You suspect some devious tactics were employed. (and no I don't know what tactics, I'm describing a hypothetical situation) Weeks later as luck would have it, he/she walks right pass you, you turn to him/her and...


    A---100% The unanimous choice
    Shake your head at how unfair life can be, but later go to the library and get a book on curses, just in case there's a next time.
    It should be noted that the control group was quite vocal on the use of spells. All agreed if they did somehow acquire magically powers, they wouldn't use them to enact revenge on a co-worker, but rather would use sorcery in postive ways, like manipulating cards and dice in Vegas

    2---You go to a restaurant for dinner, you have an entree and a main course, now it's time for dessert, what do you have?

    B---60%
    I order anything that has the word chocolate in it.
    According to the respondents, chocolate was the best of the choices listed, beverage was second with 20%; surprisingly peanuts didn't get a single vote.

    3---Dracula is to sunlight as non-revs are to...

    D---100%, another unanimous choice.
    Little Ashley (age 4) singing the 'ABC' song 17 times in a row.
    It appears the 'ABC' song, like Disney's 'It's a small world', are songs that seep into the brain and drive you nuts.


    4---Alright a little honesty here, which phrase describes your fashion style?

    ---Evenly divided
    Jeans and khakis/anything black/wrinkled but clean/I don't know, I wear a uniform at work and at home it's whatever is clean.
    I was quite pleased with the results of the fashion question. The fact that tattoos didn't get a vote, makes me very happy.

    5---You've made the flight, 14 hours from now you'll be in London. You make your way back to 36E and discover you're seated in the middle of Abraham Lincoln High's annual senior class trip. What do you do?

    E---60%
    Other
    Of the choices given D was the winner. However it appears that I failed to include a few favorites, as "other" pulled down 60% of the vote.
    In hindsight, earplugs, noise canceling headphones, sleeping pills and getting drunk should have been included as viable options.

    6---How do you feel about the color red?

    B---40%
    Pain/definitely bad news
    While 40% of the respondents associated the color red with pain/ definitely bad news/no chance for a flight; there was this one v-e-r-y jolly guy (he ate all my chocolate chip cookies by the way) who insisted the color red meant travel...lots and lots of travel.


    7---You've been stuck at the airport for 15 hours, during the long hours you've made friends with a lovely non-rev family of six who are going on their first family vacation in four years. In fact you've become so chummy with the family that little Jody has shown you photos of her pet bunny Muff and told you how she is really looking forward to the "Disney Princess breakfast" the next day. The gate agent comes over to you and whispers that there are only six seats left on the next flight, the last flight of the day (isn't it always) and because you have a higher priorty you would bump one member of the family, she asks what do you want to do....

    C---80%
    Give up your seat, but tell the agent you want to give the good news to the family yourself, you enjoy doing a good deed...besides having an executive vice president of human resouces in your debt, isn't too bad of a trade.
    Non-revs are just a softhearted bunch, as the overwhelming majority said they would give up their seat so a family could travel together.
    Yes, a few did say they would get on the plane, but would do so with utmost regret. [/list]

    Hope you had fun.
