Fill in the blank with something (or some things) that you have never eaten, experienced, watched on TV, seen, or etc., that might be surprising to others.

I'll go first...

Contrary to popular belief in certain circles, who shall remain nameless, I have never killed anyone.
Other than that, I do believe I've tried everything everyone could possibly have expected me to try. Well, I take that back. I've never seen an episode of "The Big Bang Theory".

Been on a snowmobile

For the last 25 years I have lived in an area that receives snow for six months a year and where every second family seems to have a sled yet I have never been on one.

Tried any illegal drugs. At all. Ever.

Knit a Claptois. (You might need to be a knitter to get that joke, though.)

After living in California for close to five years, I have never been to Los Angeles*.

*Connecting at LAX doesn't count as I never left the airport.

I've never done lots of things other people have done, but it's often for health/religious reasons. Excluding that, I've never been pulled over by a cop, though I have been in other, strange interactions with them (motorcycle cop comes up on the passenger side and knocks on the window, for example).

Perhaps my biggest I have never is I have never seen Titanic. Maybe that was a bigger deal in a previous decade.

I also have never been to a concert where the performers charged for you to see them.

Despite being a voracious reader, I have never read:

The DaVinci Code (or sequels/prequels)
anything Twilight
anything Harry Potter

You probably know how it ends anyway.

I have never, not even once, tried smoking a cigarette.

I've also never done any illegal drugs.

I have never been to a football game -neither high school, college or NFL. The closest I've gotten is watching some friends pass a ball around at a barbecue or two.

I read that as "washed or combed my hair", which is very different.

I don't think it's surprising, but others do -- I've never owned a car.

Fingers, and once that doesn't work I just get it cut. There's a reason, which is that when I was very little my Mum used to comb my hair quite fiercely, because it's so thick and tangly, and I grew to hate it.

Every so often I think about giving it a try, but I don't want to give up the whole "never brushed my hair" record. It's what economists call a "path-dependent factor," that is to say I won't brush my hair now because I've never done it and the fact that I've never done it is something I value in and of itself. For some reason.

I think you could use a mummified monkey paw and not have to give up your record. AND you get a whole new record.

I forgot: I've also never tried cigarettes, or even been tempted to.

I've never drank a cup of coffee.
