Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmm...maybe I need to go to Chipotle for lunch, and maybe I need to go right now!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

But what if what they really want to know is how well you conform and obey authority?

I guess they'll find out.

I'm aslo wary of making assumptions about people's off work habits (which is not what I'm suggesting you're doing at all). There's an underlying assumption here sometimes that because Mr. Jane works at a bar, I'm out partying all the time. To the point where if I come in tired (not shocking since our normal hours are 45, and we usually work over, and then have personal responsibilities), I'm asked if I was out late last night. If I say no, there's a kind of yeah-rightish "Uh huh."

Drives me batshit since I miss out on a lot of stuff being responsible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Although, for big bulky Hank (1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser), there is a huge difference in mpg between say, 50, and 70. Drops like a stone.

Yeah, less aerodynamic vehicles would see a sharp decrease in mileage at higher speeds. The same is true of vehicles without overdrive.

I thought that was a myth! Or at least I didn't think there was an appreciable difference between 55 and 60.

I think it would depend a lot on aerodynamics and maybe gearing.

Recognize 100 men in 1 minute?

No, I couldn't do that so one of the guys could have been who you mentioned but I don't necessarily recall him.
