Questions to Energize Your Work Meetings

I came across the post 100 Funny Icebreaker Questions to Energize Your Work Meetings. The use of these, I suppose, depends on your workplace, but I’m not feeling it for MY last work site.

“Are you tired of those awkward moments during work meetings when everyone is just staring at each other, waiting for someone to break the silence? Well, we’ve got just the solution for you: icebreaker questions!

“In this article, we’ll dive into the world of icebreakers and share some fun and engaging questions that will help liven up your work meetings. Whether you’re meeting in person or virtually, these icebreakers are sure to get everyone in the mood and create a positive and engaging atmosphere. So, let’s get started!”

Some of these I’ll answer briefly because I feel I’ve answered them sufficiently in the past.

Category 1: Fun Facts and Favorites

1. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Flying. It’s always flying. Sometimes, even to this day, I wake up and feel as though I had been flying, but it was merely a dream. Alas!
2. What was your most embarrassing moment that still makes you laugh today? I can think of some embarrassing moments, but none that make me laugh. And a few of them still sting.
3. What’s the weirdest food combination you enjoy? I don’t know what people consider weird. Cottage cheese and apple sauce?
4. Who is your favorite cartoon character, and why? Popeye. I totally relate to “That’s all I can stands, ’cause I can’t stands no more.” It’s a pretty good gauge of me to this day. If I say, “I’m really upset about this” or “This is REALLY important,” but I’m not listened to, I’m likely to become really irritable. It might lead me to yell, and I HATE yelling because I feel out of control.
5. If you were a vegetable, which one would you be, and why? Spinach because of Popeye. I often eat spinach with a can of tuna fish.
6. What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever bought online? I bought technology that was supposed to make my life easier, but I can’t figure out how to use it. One was supposed to extend the geographic range of our Internet access. 
7. What’s the strangest talent or skill you possess? I used to be able to sound like a kazoo without a kazoo or comb, but my ability has atrophied due to lack of use. 
8. If you had your own talk show, who would be your first guest? Probably a musician named Paul. Simon or McCartney, because their music has an outsized imprint on my life. I’d say that almost every S&G and solo album has songs that have a specific meaning to me.
9. What’s the funniest Wi-Fi network name you’ve ever seen? Huh? No idea.
10. If you were a DJ, what would your name be? Tell me, people. What do you think it should be? I’ve never been great at naming, except once.
