It’s been seven months since Playboy founder Hugh Hefner went to that big Playboy Mansion in the sky- or at least to the smog that hovers over Los Angeles.

So now, inspired by a captain’s hat, ascot, silk pajamas and Fred McMurray pipe, I shall do the unstoppable: answer my own Playmate questionnaire.

No fanfare, no tassels, no airbrushing, and no staples in the centerfold:

Guilty pleasures: Drunk dialing my parole officer; binge watching Russian Television episodes of “The Apprentice”; going through Customs while smuggling Fruit (of the Loom underwear); asking for “extra happy” with my McDonalds Happy Meal; going to the Dollar Store, holding up several items, and one at a time, asking the clerk, “How much is this?”

Ambitions: To become a Mob wife; to run through the sprinklers in my office building; study professional pole dancing; make toilet paper origami; mount a moose (on my wall); buck the system analysis guy.
