MULTIPLE CHOICE ON 42 DIMENSIONS OF RATIONALE
Before we get started, dodgy participants cannot use any of these excuses:

Overheard at a real university somewhere in the U.S.:

• Was this a real test?
• I thought it was a practice test...you're not gonna count that score are you?
• Can I earn extra credit?
• I wasn't here for the test. I'll bring a doctor's excuse next week...
• You want to "GRADE" our homework?!?!!
• I didn't have money for the textbook so I'm borrowing a friend's...
• I didn't have money for the workbook so I'm borrowing a friend's...
• I didn't have the workbook so I helped (insert name here) do their homework. Can't you just give me the same grade they earned?
• If I do well on the final, I'll still pass the course, right? (Dr J; November 17, 2008)

Question 8
January 18, 2008, Miyoko Fujimori of Shop Erotic was interviewed. Here is a snippet -- read and then pick best answer:

"Dethroner: When did Shop Erotic first hit the airwaves? [SOURCE]

"Miyoko: Shop Erotic first aired two years ago, and at that time we showed romance products mostly! [So strap-on scorpion vibrators with attached "anal stingers" aren't romantic? Romance is dead. -Ed.]

Dethroner: You guys seem so pleasantly clinical about all of the products I’ve seen. (Which isn’t a bad thing.) Is there any product that’s just been so odd that it’s been hard to talk about on the air?

Miyoko: We try to stay extremely clinical—it’s still TV! But I think that’s part of the appeal of the show. It takes away any old stigmas that we might have learned growing up. There are some products that can be difficult to talk about. Aria’s Pleaser was a tough one to shoot. Andrea and I were laughing so hard, it took a few minutes to calm down enough to present it seriously!"

a__ Shop erotic is responsible for social reform and bringing sexual freedom to masses through television
b__ Shop Erotic is there to make money, using any tactic it can, while pushing inferior products at manufacturer's suggested retail prices
c__ is a vision of Rupe Murdoch's
d__ sells its client list to Satan

c__ with or without conspicuous underage drinking?
d__ The supposition to the preposition is inaccurate
e__ Domini ad Infinitum: first order of bidness: "go forth you frothing whores and bloody bastards, and proliferate..."

Question BONUS:

Your illicit sex partner is being introduced first time to your: Mom and Dad, Wife or Husband, pet horse, Gov Malajovich, or the upstairs Maid... you are not sure how to keep it from being a psychotic event for yourself. Remember that misdirection is a major tool to use for happy illicit sex...

Best introductions for this occasion might be as this writer says --

"I like character intros that are a little less on the nose, a little more sleight-of-hand. Revelation by misdirection, or contrast with another character in the same room, perhaps. A slight idiosyncrasy that hints at the whole iceberg lurking beneath an otherwise unruffled ocean." (Read, Cornelia, [http://www.nakedauthors.com/2008/06/rhymes-with-duck-redux.html]

If you agree, pick the best approach for the introduction from these choices:

"Hi, I'm [name...here] and this is [name...here]... and ... He\She\It thinks"

a__ One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of 235 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for domestic problems that plague this country.(Smiley, P; [SOURCE]

b__ I think my brother and I both ended up here in America due to early conditioning at home. It wasn’t just the fact that my dad loved cowboy movies, or my mother’s stories of those lovely US airmen who bought her chocolates on her seventeenth birthday at a time when there were no chocolates to be had in London – it was pretty much one big bomb site at the time (I’ve told that story here before). There was a certain respect for America, a sense that without America, where would we be? America was the place where everyone wanted to know your name, where the cars were that big – and you should see the size of their refrigerators! (Winspear, J; [SOURCE])

c__ MUSIC FOR A RECESSION: With the economy in the toilet, you might prefer to listen to upbeat tunes. Not me. I like music to reflect the times. Here's one my favorites for cooking a can of beans over an open fire: James McMurtry's
"We Can't Make It Here." McMurtry is the son of Pulitzer Prize winning author Larry McMurtry ("Lonesome Dove"), but you knew that. (Levine, Paul; [SOURCE])

d__ She is eighteen.

e__ He\she\it is deaf mute.

f__ She\He\It is French... [See question one.]
