Mike's FAQ
Ask your own question View All MIKEFAQs
Good question. Are all your questions this good? I get a lot of questions asked of me via email or on the street and I thought I should try to answer some of them here so we can talk about something else when you see me at the Stop-n-Rob. In fact, let me dispense with the three most asked questions I get:
Q: "Why do you wear a ball cap? Are you bald under there?"
A: I am not bald. I have not lost any hair. I am hated for this at high school reunions. Don't most of us from the midwest wear ball caps?
Q: "Why don't you run for President?"
A: Because I want to live.
Q: "Do you drive an American car?"
A: You're showing your age with this one. Everyone under 35 either doesn't care about that anymore or already knows that there's no such thing as an "American car." (American car companies are global companies, using parts from dozens of countries and assembling them in a dozen other places. Ontario now produces more cars than Michigan.) But yes, I do drive an "American car" -- a 7-year-old Chrysler van, when Chrysler was owned by the Germans.
