OK this is really weird.....give it a try!!!!
Are you in the 98% group?
At the end of this message, you are asked a question.
Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.
Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the same time! Give it a try, then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the "test".
Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.
Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one..
You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind.
You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
75 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Calculation s are hard work, but it's! nearly over..
Come on, one more! ...
< BR>
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!
!
Scroll further to the bottom....
A bit more...
You just thought about a red hammer ! , didn't you?
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind.
98% of the folks
would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.
If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.
Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you.
Now post your results!!!!

I thought of a blue trowel - pretty close to a blue shovel. I wonder if this has something to with brain handed-ness - all that left brain, right brain stuff. My husband thought of a black power tool. That might be the old Y chromosome thing.

I thought of a pink hammer. But the funny thing was, right after I thought that, my mind said, "no, red!" Of course, that wasn't my first instinct, so I had to stick with pink.
Anyway, inquiring minds want to know, so here is an explanation I found when I googled it.

Well, you know that a hammer is probably the most commonly
used hand tool there is, so that's not surprising. Why red?
Beats me. -Bob

I've loved pink ever since I was little. It's so cliche' for a girl but I love pink and black together! I even had a pink wedding gown! It was a very, very, very light shade of pink but it was still pink! It's was gorgeous and different. Not typical WHITE!

I thought red...... hamster.
And then I was disappointed in myself because "hamster" isn't a tool.

When I went home yesterday and looked at the two hammers I
have, they were both red, and when I checked the hardware
store, 90% of them were red. -Bob

When I was a little girl, I loved pink and charcoal-grey. Those were MY colors! And with you it's pink and black! Could we be sisters, or WHAT?!
Love the pale pink wedding gown. Oh yeah! When hubby and I first took up rowing, the first sculling boat we bought for me was custom-painted in pink, and I had a matching pink outfit. When I got my first scooter, oh yeah -- PINK. Pink with a pink helmet. Can you imagine the teasing I got from people on the street? I didn't care!
I still like the color; it's practically all I wear. Pink and charcoal-grey.

I can't picture a pink sculling boat! I can picture the pink accessories though! There is a woman in our town who sells MaryKay or something and she has a pink car! Not sure I'd go to that extreme! I have a pink Esprit Ski jacket and I just got baby pink Uggs! I love them. Actually pink is "in" right now with boys. It's a phase but it's still funny to hear my boys asking for pink t-shirts!!

That is just totally adorable! I LOVE IT! You look adorable too! Who the heck could have nerve to make fun of you?!?!?!?!? Ok, I guess guys would but like you said, who cares. Made you stand out and showed them you have your own look!
I wish I could show you a pic of my wedding gown. We didn't have a digital camera then. Maybe my mom can scan one and I can do it that way. I'll work on that!
Thank you soooo much for sharing. Not what I expected at all!
