Yeah I apologize when I do that. It happens too often.
Would you/do you engage in casual conversation with an acquaintance on a topic on which you are far better informed, without letting the other person know of your depth of knowledge?

I think that depends on the circumstances, if the topic casually came up I wouldn't feel the need to declare my knowledge but I wouldn't intentionally conceal how much I knew.
You see a beggar on the street and you decide to give them money. You mean to give them 5 dollars but accidentally pull out a 50 and don't realize it until after you give it to them. Would you ask for the money back? Or just let it slide?

I wouldn't ask for the money back, that'd be bad form... but for $50 I would ask for a blow job.
Have you ever paid for sex?

Heh heh.
No, despite many opportunities. But if the lady doesn't really wan't to be there, then neither do I.
If you despised and disrespected your father's second wife, and on his deathbed he begged you to look after her in old age, would you promise to do it, even though you had no intention of even seeing her a day after the funeral?
Yes, I rather think I would grant a man's dying wish.
When you die, and if you were cremated, where would you want them to scatter your ashes?
In the sea. I'm not a sailor, and I don't harbor (no pun intended) a lot of romantic notions about the sea, but sharing a tomb with Hudson, Drake, Cook, Diaz, Zheng He, etc., etc., etc. sounds like good company to me. (Although to be honest, I could care less what happens to the dead parts of me when I'm gone).
Would you apologize to someone for something that was your fault if you were virtually certain that your apology would be treated with contempt?
Depends on the circumstances, generally I do apologize for things which are my fault, but I also dislike being treated with contempt enough that I might skip it. But okay i'll say yes, I've done this with girlfriends who I knew weren't willing to hear an apology and certainly treated it with contempt at the time.
Would you still choose to maintain your position as bodyguard to Adolf Hitler even if your job description suspiciously included gunning down a surprising number of time travelling vigilantes?

If my contract had any sort of time traveller clause, I would probably assume the guy was nuts, and join the resistance (not that there was much of a resistance in the Third Reich). And if time traveling vigilantes ever did show up, I'd at least hear them out.
While I appreciate Iain's integrity, what I was really asking is if you would lie to your father on his deathbed, or say, No, Dad, I just can't do that. Question is open to anyone.
If I know that I absolutely can not do it then yes, I am lying to him on his deathbed. I like my father's second wife just fine though, but yeh, hypothetically I would lie to him.
If you discovered that you were adopted would you attempt to find your birth parents or any siblings you may have?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Not my biological parents, although later on life I would probably try to see if I had brothers and sisters, and that might lead me to them. But my adoptive parents would still be my "real" parents. If I ever did meet my biological parents, I would make that clear to everyone.
Same question.
Yes I would try to find my biological parents and any brothers or sisters I might have.
Would you ever consider adopting a child yourself?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Of course, assuming I was financially stable.
Would you pay $28 for a t-shirt with your favorite author or book on it?
If I liked the shirt yes, $28 is pretty reasonable.
Would you let your girlfriend dress you if she really wanted to?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
No! If they still need dolls, they're too young to see you naked in the first place. Don't let them put braids in your hair either!
Would you wear black cowboy boots to a funeral?

No... not unless it was somehow important to the deceased that I do so.
Would you ever pay upwards of $300 for a meal and wine?
