Yikes, a psychopath !

[Quijote]

Yikes, a psychopath !

Or a business leader?
Zut! You've found out what I was trying to discover sneakily.
Anyway, here's the link. Hope you find it as funny as I did. By the way, I'm not a psychopath as I answered the same as Megan.

Actually, Megan's answer was the first to pop into my mind as well, but I quickly dismissed it, as there didn't seem to be enough information to draw that conclusion. After another second, my mind settled on the solution I gave; it seemed more logically satisfying, since it didn't require assuming anything that was not given in the question.

So maybe I'm a psychopath who is just a bit behind the curve?

Yes Chris, you're answer made me think of a psycho!

Excuses, excuses .... According to the article Chris, you have displayed the same qualities as psychopaths or business leaders. Take your pick!
Still, with all these banking and business scandals going on these days, it does make you wonder !!!!!

[Chris]

Hm...I was once half owner and vice president of a corporation...

RULES OF EATING - THE BRONX DIETER'S CREED

1. Never eat on an empty stomach.
2. Never leave the table hungry.
3. When traveling, never leave a country hungry.
4. Enjoy your food.
5. Enjoy your companion's food.
6. Really taste your food. It may take several portions to
accomplish this, especially if subtly seasoned.
7. Really feel your food. Texture is important. Compare, for
example, the texture of a turnip to that of a brownie.
Which feels better against your cheeks?
8. Never eat between snacks, unless it's a meal.
9. Don't feel you must finish everything on your plate. You can
always eat it later.
10. Avoid any wine with a childproof cap.
11. Avoid blue food.

Great to know. Do not forget blue cheese.

Let's say your wedding ring falls into your toaster, and when you stick your
hand in to retrieve it, you suffer Pain and Suffering as well as Mental
Anguish. You would sue:

* The toaster manufacturer, for failure to include, in the instructions
section that says you should never never never ever stick you hand
into the toaster, the statement "Not even if your wedding ring falls
in there".

* The store where you bought the toaster, for selling it to an obvious
cretin like yourself.

* Union Carbide Corporation, which is not directly responsible in this
case, but which is feeling so guilty that it would probably send you
a large cash settlement anyway.

The misnaming of fields of study is so common as to lead to what might
be general systems laws. For example, Frank Harary once suggested the
law that any field that had the word "science" in its name was
guaranteed thereby not to be a science. He would cite as examples
Military Science, Library Science, Political Science, Homemaking
Science, Social Science, and Computer Science. Discuss the generality
of this law, and possible reasons for its predictive
power.
-- Gerald Weinberg, "An Introduction to General Systems
Thinking."

Remark: you think you are alone in this or that way of thinking, and once you find somebody who says the exact words you always had thought.
