Your Smart-Ass Questions Answered
by Jenners • 03/19/2010 • Life • 27 Comments
So remember how I’ve been answering all your questions in a series of posts that I’ve been able to drag out for months now? Well, I’m down to your last questions. (Or am I? Read to the bottom to find out why this might not be so.) Although I categorized these questions as “smart ass,” I never back down from a challenge … or a chance to talk about myself.
If you were dropped on a deserted island, a la Bear Grylls in Man v. Wild, what would you take with you and how would you plan to survive, and escape?
from Erin at Treasures Found: Inspiration Is Everywhere
I’d take a satellite phone that works anywhere in the world, a book, and a comfy chair. Then I’d sit there reading while I waited for my rescue.
Summer camp? (Are you going and leaving the Little One and Mr. Jenners at home?)
from Sometimes Sophia
Where is this camp for wayward moms who need a break and how I can I sign up?
When can we expect you first memoir in print?

Have you ever frantically searched the house for even the smallest bit of chocolate?
from Kelly at My Voice, My View
I have no idea what you are talking about. I know where every piece of chocolate in the house is at all times so I never have to frantically search. I just walk calmly to one of my 100s of hiding places. Or I crack open my “emergency chocolate” case.
What is the meaning of life?
from Jenni at Jiggety Jigg
42
Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?
from Jenni at Jiggety Jigg
I wasn’t born yesterday, Ms. Smarty Pants. Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant. HA!
Did you know Ulysses S. Grant is on the $50 bill?Haven’t I been good about not using Face In Hole?
I had to crack sometime. Why not now?
Want to know more about Grant?
Well, tough. Here are some factoids I found.
Did you know the “S” stood for nothing?
Did you know Grant’s wife called him “Dodo, Dode, Victor and Dudy”?
Did you know Grant weighed 10.75 pounds when born?
Did you know Grant did not believe in profanity, believing it to be a waste of time?
Did you know that this was a very long and silly caption?
from Jenni at Jiggety Jigg
I am the type of person who when asked “What is heavier: a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?” will always immediately think “Feathers, of course.” And speaking of pounds, does it bother you that the abbreviation for pounds is lbs? This has always annoyed me. And your answer, Ms. Jiggety Jigg, is half a pound.
Who is your very favorite blogger named Jenni?
from Jenni at Jiggety Jigg
I see where you’re going with this, Ms. I Asked A Bunch of Silly Questions Instead of Trying To Get To Know My Bloggy Buddy Better. You think I’ll be tricked into saying “Why, you, of course, Ms. Jenni.” But you know what? I spell my name Jenni too. (In a fit of rebelliousness in fifth grade, I changed the spelling of my name from “Jenny” to “Jenni,” going as far as to refuse papers or letters that weren’t addressed properly.) And, since I just LOVE myself, I’m going to say my very favorite blogger named Jenni is me! (But you’re not too bad yourself, Ms. Jiggety.)
Have you been crying yourself to sleep at night because you didn’t get to ask me a question the first time around? Well, pull yourself out of that pit of despair! You now have one last chance to ask me a question to be answered in my last FAQ post (unless I get a lot more question and am able to drag this series on indefinitely). Just put in the comments.
Able to drag out a series of posts indefinitely because I love to talk about myself,
You are terrifically amusing. Glad to see my name in print. It's sort of nostagic and provocative at the same time. Thanks, friend, I'll be back soon.
This post sealed the deal and I am now a follower. I am now going to browse through the rest of your blog and burn more calories laughing! Woo-hoo!
{PS} The Nick Nolte mugshot with your face under "You might also like:" helped in making this decision.
You = awesome + funny.
Me = a big fan of you, awesome and funny.
My question = Have you ever had a moment in you life that seemed just like a movie?
Those were great!
Love the chocolate one
Missed your posts so much while I've been away! Got me some catching up to do.
But, I can see you are still brilliant as ever ♥
xoxo
what's the funniest book you
ever read . . . not as a child.
I think you forgot chocolate on your island adventure.
And I have searched thoroughly hoping to find a missed piece of chocolate, lol. 
PS – wasn't that 24, not 42? lol
You're funny. Followed you over here after reading your witty comments on other blogs
That lb-thing. Now you're going to keep me wondering about that! Thanks a LOT!
I love the silliness in this post…especially the Grant rant. That was awesome. Btw, you have a great face on our US currency : )
Doesn't it take a smart ass to answer smart ass questions?
I'm with you on the chocolate. My mom tells her doctor its ok if she eats it because it is full of antioxidants
great answers
Hmmm – I just can't think of anything witty. I will say I am impressed with your answer to the meaning of life – 42. Did you get that from Louis Carroll or Douglas Adams?
Jenners, (you knew this one was coming) if you could have dinner with any person in history, who would it be?
You've got some nutty readers. I like that.
I was wondering when you'd be making your Face In Hole comeback…
I'm excited that my 42 will be here in September. So it's worth the wait?? I need to take chocolate storage advice from you apparently!! Am I a bad mom if I hide the last Twix bar from my oldest son? Then later on, I'll tell him, "You know that too much chocolate is not good for you." Hypocrite big time, I know
Loved all your answers. You're my favorite Jenni blogger too!!
HOOT! Honestly … you amaze me every day.
Jenners….I did not know about this blog…very fun!
Ooh! Ooh! I have a question!
If someone was to make a made-for-tv movie about your life, who would play you, Mr. Jenners and The Little One?
Lol! Wow, you got some weird questions but you answered them perfectly.
Great answers…especially the one about the chocolate!! Who wants to have to search for it? You gotta keep that stuff handy.
I have a 50 dollar bill that looks just like that!
My husband looks just like Ulysses S. Grant, circa 1855 or so. And I've got lots of interesting nicknames for him, too. LOL
I'm cracking up at the thought of a chocoholic searching the floor on hands and knees, looking for a stray m&m… like a crack addict. Glad you keep your chocolate under control.
Awww…you figured out that I am a smart ass at heart! I am so glad you answered these insightful questions. I think I know you better already!
Enjoy the day, Jenni from the block!
Erin
42! How did you know that? *mumbling to herself* Dang it, no one else is supposed to know that. Now I have to go back to the math, change things up; they weren't supposed to know. *glares at everyone and stalks off*
