Readers tell life stories in 6 words

Had tons of response to last week's call for six-word autobiographies.

I'm guessing some of you aren't who you say you are, however, unless Dick Cheney really did send me the following sentence: "Will you go hunting with me?" (The answer is "no.")

Or this one from Britney Spears: "Oops! I did it again!" (Apparently, Britney can't count.)

But whatever.

I received lots of great stuff, which I am happily passing along to our Deseret News readers under the category of "Words to Live By."

Enjoy!

For women of a certain age: "Hey, who turned up the HEAT???" (Jan Larsen)

For anyone of a certain age: "Now what was your name again?" (see above); "Why did I come into this room?" (same)
