Silly Questions people have asked YOU-!

[TYTD Review]

Legitimately;

me: "So thats your account set up; you should recieve your first few emails within 72 hours"
Them: "and how longs that"
Me: "well...72 hours."
Them: "Oh right...and what if emails come sooner than that?"
Me: "Well...that can only be a good thing I assume..."
Them: "...Okay."
 
*About a day later I recieve an email off them*

Them: "Hi *Name* my emails up and working...and its a good thing too! imagine if it hadnt worked! i'd be very angry about now!  "

Me: [Internally] ...Eh?...what on earth are you talking about?...go away you mad mad person... [\Internally]
[In the email]...good to hear...any troubles let us know...[/in the email]

More of a sweet question than a silly one, but the other night my six-year-old son (who is obsessed with aliens, whom he refers to as "UFOs") asked me, "Why do UFOs want to abduct babies, when they can't even ask babies any questions?"

Doing driver's ed in northern Indiana, I remember that the teacher was the football coach.  We're doing my driving test.  (I'm 6'2", 200 lb, in decent shape but no bodybuilder or anything.)

Teacher:  "D'you play football?"
Me:  "Nope."
Teacher:  "What's the matter with ya?"

Trevor, if you claim to be African, how come you're white? 

Is Africa a big country? Oy.

Do you speak English there in Africa?

Where are the wild animals in Pretoria?

Trevor's  thread about silly questions got me thinking-what silly or just plain stupid have people asked you?
  
I ran my bike into a guard rail in front of Waggoners Groceries in 2003 and I had blood running from my nose.  Some moron see's me in the store and asks-"Are you bleeding?"  

You ran your bike into a guard rail... and, WHO'S THE MORON???  
Y'know, sometimes people play dumb in order to make someone realize that they are BLEEDING.  
Sometimes people don't know they are BLEEDING.  When I whacked my head and didn't spill any wine a year or two ago, I didn't know there was BLOOD running down my head.  A lot.

"Do you want to go to Hell, Evelyn?"

A retired nun I used to take to dinner asked me this one day as a commentary on my life, and I thought, gee, talk about an unnecessary question, of course I don't wanna go to Hell. Total no-brainer, Ssster. Jeesh, what was I supposed to say, uh, yes?
