Tell Something unusual about yourself.
I had to wear an eye patch for a lazy eye as a kid. Spoiler, they later learned that eye patches do not correct lazy eye.

- I also had to wear an eye patch, for about 6 months when I was 13/14. I was loading my Mom's station wagon for a camping trip, and I was stretching a bungee cord over some stuff across the roof of the car. I stretched it way too hard and tight, and the hook on the other end of the bungee cord gave out, and it snapped back and hit me directly in my left eye.
- I was born with a condition called Anosmia, which is the partial or complete lack of the sense of smell. In my case it's complete. I've literally never smelled anything before in my life.
- I spent the bulk of my 20's loading, priming and detonating massive amounts of explosives for a living.
- I once stole the license plate off of Jack Nicholson's limousine at a sporting event, and I still have it.

That's a weird way of saying that in your 20s you had the best job ever. share
LOL, on the surface it sounds like it. In reality, it was usually like 14 hours a day of back-breaking manual labor, usually in the desert with no shade, in 100 degree weather, followed by 60 seconds of eventual awesomeness when I got to say into my radio "Fire in the hole, fire in the hole!" and then release the trigger and rock the Earth.
shareLet me rephrase: "That's a weird way of saying that in your 20s you had 60 seconds of the best job ever."

Are you able to distinguish different tastes and flavors of food? I read somewhere that most of our sense of taste is a directly linked to our sense of smell, hence when people have a blocked nose their sense of taste is greatly diminished. share
Well, that's sort of a hard question for me to answer, because I have no personal frame of reference. I've never been able to smell, so I'm not sure how different my sense of taste is, compared to yours. The way the doctor who diagnosed me when I was a kid described it, my taste buds work fine. But I definitely don't get subtle differences in flavors. If I go to Starbucks, for example, and they have 75 different flavors of coffee, they all just taste like coffee, to me.
Does that make sense?
I don't have your condition and coffee all tastes the same to me, too... like dirt dumped into hot water. That's why I never got into the habit of drinking it.
shareThat makes sense. As far as I know you don't need a sense of smell to distinguish the four main tastes (sweet, salty, sour and bitter). Not sure about specific tastes like cinnamon or mint though.
