There’s been a recent revival of the “Ask the _____” threads and the inevitable backlash against them. Just to have fun with this, what are some “Ask the _____” threads you hope to never see? Here are mine:
Ask the Proctologist
Ask the Undertaker
Ask the Drug Addict
Ask the Guy Who Watched Battlefield Earth (or some other excruciatingly deplorable movie) And Liked It (okay, this one may actually generate some amusing questions and answers)
You don’t think that would be at least somewhat informative?
I’m curious, because my husband works at a funeral home and I’m constantly having to answer questions about his line of work. It’s something I figured someone would bring up eventually in all the ‘Ask the’ threads. You don’t think it would go over well?
Ask the 50 year old guy who lives with his mommy and spends all day in his bedroom eating cold pizza, viewing internet porn and posting on message boards.
Ask the trainspotter.*
Ask the guy who’s been sleeping with your wife for the last 5 years and is the father of at least one of your children.
Ask the serial killer who’s sitting in a van that’s parked outside your house while running a sharp knife lovingly over the photos he’s been taking of you for the last month.**
I was going to do “Ask the Liar” but it seemed to be too much effort for too few laffs. “Ask the Guy Who Starts a Thread and Then Abandons It” was less effort, but again, not much laffs.
