Is for me! that’s why I’ll never run for public office.

OH?
I hear tell you have other “skeletons” in your closet.
Closets can be very scary....

Where is fear of flying? I've flown once in my life (no problems with it, but then I had a way too realistic dream about crashing and have never flown again). I also have a fear of heights. I freak out on a ladder or a glass elevator, and you couldn't pay me enough to go out on the Grand Canyon's sky walk, but I love to go on a ferris wheel and have even gone on a double ferris wheel, go figure.

Frightening: Helen Thomas in a negligee, beckoning with one hand, and holding a tube of K-Y in the other.

Hideously frightening: Barney Frank in the same pose.

Frightening beyond all belief: Both of them, demanding a Ménage à trois.

Being alone in the dark is no biggie.

It’s not knowing who/what is there with you in the dark.

that's one of the reasons i do not like the dark... if my husband is out of town, i sleep with the light on... even as a little girl, i slept with the light on... my mom would come in my room to turn it off, and i would wake up immediatey and say, "turn the light on." this would freak her out because i was fast asleep as she turned out the light...

Clowns give me the creeps, but its all just my imagination.

i used to collect clowns... now they are all wrapped up in boxes in the shed... i'm afraid of the dark, but clowns don't bother me (except the ones from creepy movies)...
