 6. You have been seeing a woman for several years. She is attractive
 and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her.  One leisurely
 Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy -- you are watching
 a football game; she is reading the papers -- when she suddenly, out of
 the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you,
 but she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your
 relationship is going. She says she is not asking whether you want to
 get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of
 future together.  What do you say?
 
 a. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you
 do not want to rush it.
 b. That although you also have strong feelings for her, you cannot
 honestly say that you will be ready anytime soon to make a lasting
 commitment, and you do not want to hurt her by holding out false hope.
 c. That you cannot believe the Jets called a draw play on third and
 seventeen.

 opportunities that the world has to offer, come what may.  How do you
 tell her?
 
 a. You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner.
 b. You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her name,
 and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing her hair and
 the stars in her eyes, you tell her.
 c. Tell her what?
 
 
 8. One weekday morning your wife wakes up feeling ill and asks you to
 get your three children ready for school.  Your first question to her
 is:

 c. "There are three of them?"
 
 
 9. When is it okay to throw away a set of veteran underwear?

 holes so large that you are not sure which ones were originally
 intended for your legs.
 b. When it is down to eight loosely connected underwear molecules and
 has to be handled with tweezers.
 c. It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks
 the garbage regularly in case somebody -- and we are not naming names,
 -- is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because         the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her.
