EDIT:
Okay some of you don't know what the MASH game was. So I found an online version if you want to check it out!
the M stands for Mansion, A for Apartment, S for Shack, and H for House
It's a game that you played that would show where you would live, who you would marry, how many kids you would have, type of car you would own, pets, etc.
Just a fun, silly game that we used to play. Me and my friends always had outlandish things on there like 20 kids and we always made sure to put boys on there that we didn't like to make the game more funny. Sometimes we put different actors and singers into it too.
Another Edit:
Okay I got my answers on the game and here they are... I forgot how funny it can be!
My answers are:
Your husband's name is Cory and you have 3 children. You're a bum who drives to work every day in a cherry red pinto.
It's truly a wonderful life when you consider the countless romantic nights you have spent with Cory in your house in Utah.
The funny thing is Cory is my husband.... the other names I put on the game were movie stars, lol. At least I got a cherry red car to drive as a bum.... some of the other colors I picked were Poo brown and pukey green, lol. Wish I would have gotten Hawaii as the place to live though! :)
If you want to play the game and copy and paste the answers on this post that would be fun!
