Hmm. Long lists. I note that we have one in common. Probability states we have more than one, but we only have one. Unless of course it's my scent that drives you crazy. My own scent drives me crazy too. But anyway, wine devastates me. In fact, I've gotten into a fight every time I've drank wine. Some of these fights I'm not particularly proud of.

Hmm - I'll be sure to never shave my chest :)

Interesting, we have several things in common, and I have a pretty good guess at the answer to number 32.
