10. My dad has a Clementine

that is at least 5 years old in his car (it looks much like the 80 y/o orange) and a peach that he "stole" from the peach orchard at Gettysburg like 10 years ago.

My dad has a thing for dried fruit, I guess :shrug:

12. I thought I was a pack rat.

That is just nasty. But, I guess, after that many years, it would be hard to throw out.
