I’m the official Senses Taker, and I must have some information before I can take your senses. Now if you’ll just tell me when you were born, where you were born, why you were born, how old you are now, how old you were then, how old you’ll be in a little while, your mother’s name your father’s name, your aunt’s name, your uncle’s name, your cousin’s name, where you live, how long you’ve lived there, the school you’ve attended , the schools you haven’t attended, your hobbies, your telephone number, your shoe size, shirt size, collar size, hat size, and the names and addresses of six people who can verify all this information we’ll get started. One at a time, please; stand in line; and no pushing, no talking, no peeking”.
