Weird questions

[RCMerchant]

I was at the store here in town with my son Jed, and Jed was unloading the goods on the counter. I said to the clerk-" My son will load it up." She said to me- Your son?"

I didn't say anything, but I wished I had said- " No. It's my daughter."

I think she said it because I'm 5'2" and he's 6'.

Back in my early twenties, a lot of guys on temp jobs would ask me if I had any kids...
I would always say no, & then they would ask me "Why not?"

I mean, did I really need to explain the birds & the bees to these guys?

I get that one a lot. It's not really a weird question so much as a rude one. I think the people who ask it are astonished that anyone wouldn't want children. But what if I'm infertile? Is that really your business?

^ My Dad would ask me why I never had a steady girlfriend or any kids. I had Jed when I was 30. I was too f**ked up to deal with girlfriends or kids.

One I used to get a lot when I went to college in New England: "You were born in Kentucky? You don't seem like it."

How would society be different if human beings had a mating season?  (Only a month or two out of the entire year they would have sex and could get pregnant)

On multiple occasions I have been asked how much I would charge to kill someone, as well as how many people I have killed.

I consider both to be incrediby stupid questions.

Like Spock's.
People would go apesh!t.

This is not a personal hit- it just reminds me of a joke I told our head mechanic (Kevin). I said " How do you find a virgin in Kentucky?"
Kevin was from Kentucky.
He said " I don't know, Ronny." He was already smiling, because he knew I was gonna say something real stupid.
"Find a sister who can run faster than her brother!"  
He was a great guy.

You know the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky, because otherwise they would have called it "teethbrush."

That actually looks like most of my neighbors here in Lawton.
And I'm missing a lot of teeth too.

Every weird question I remember was either embarrassing or insulting.

Do you stand in front of a mirror and make faces?

When I was in college in 1987, I wore a lot of black - still do - and people wanted to know why I did that: was it because I worshiped Satan? 

[RCMerchant]

^ Did you tell them "yes"?



Is Satan smoking a joint?

Some years ago at another job I once wore my wrist watch on the right hand. I should note that until then I wasn't much of a wrist watch wearer. I did buy one especially for that job because I would leave the building on my lunch break and I needed to see the time to return.

My colleague was shocked because I was wearing my watch on the right. She was like "OMG! why are you wearing your watch on the right?!? It should always be worn on the left!" Was she superstitious or did I break some rules of etiquette? I told her, does it matter? and she said yes and shook her head.

Years later I found out a silly saying that if you wore your watch on the right you are signaling that you are gay. I thought that was hilarious.
