So I was at home minding my own business when the doorbell rings and it's StatsCan on the prowl looking for health information from Canadians.

The questions started off being normal Doctor/Dentist/Disease stuff.
She then got into questions like Gambling/Sex/Alcohol.

Gambing they started off with the standard lottery tickets, scratch and win, bingo, casinos. But then she said stock investing. I was surprised, I'm a guy who doesn't gamble at all and my gambling score was through the roof because I invest over $1000 in speculative stocks. Do you know how many little bingo cards or scatch and win tickets you can buy with that much money? Totally unfair category.

Oh and my sex and alcohol was seriously messed as I was at an all inclusive resort in Cuba this month. She must have thought I was a huge drunken slut :)
