sometimes i get astounded by the absolute stupidity of people. the things that come out of people's mouths never ceases to amaze me.
like the time that i had a client say something that made absolutely no sense at all. just to give you a bit of background, in my business, we commonly refer to wireless microphones that clip on to your shirt/suit/blouse/lapel/collar as "lavs". so the client says to me "yes we need lavs, because there's a lot of carpeting."
and i don't know what one has to do with the other. i really have no idea what they could possibly be trying to say. i simply responded with "then we will get you lavs!".
there was another time at work, when the two dumbest questions i have ever been asked, occurred within ten minutes of each other. (my apologies if you have heard me talk about this before).
first question was : "does this elevator go up"?
i have no idea why they decided to ask me. i was just casually sitting in the hotel lobby, and i don't think that i looked like an employee.
the second question was : "can you tell me where the 'SECOND-FLOOR MEETING ROOMS' are?".
seriously.
there is no way to answer that question without sounding like a jerk.

there are no stupid questions. only stupid people.

hey hey,
i get asked this all the time
"what other flavours does your soap come in?" are you really going to eat it?
patience, Grasshopper.
Live and let live, and all that.
dumb questions: they're relative.
i was in Istanbul about a year and a half ago. a young boy approached a female companion and said "Are you real?".
At the time it was a completely appropriate question.
Great image on this post, btw.
Don't you hate those " This post has been removed by the author" NONcomments?
It wasn't me.
Two great ways to answer stupid questions without sounding like "a jerk":
Q: Have you had a haircut?
A: "No. I got my ears lowered".
Q: What's your problem?
A: "My dick's too big".
Here are a few more:
Q: Is it raining outside?
A: Does it ever rain inside?
Q: May I have this dance?
A: Sure, I don't want it
A colleague of mine asked me what the result of my test in English was.
answer: 91%.
the next question was: Out of how much?
@ anonymous : i gained quite an appreciation for the flavours of soap when i was younger, since i had such a foul mouth, and my mother used soap to try and make me stop.....
@ dickcherry : YES i hate "removed comments". now i want to know the comment even more! although i have to admit that i did that on your page while back. i was really drunk, and sobriety came to me briefly after i wrote it, and i looked like more of a fool than usual.
glad you like the pic!
@ justa : those are all great. especially the rain question.
