“Why don’t girls go for nice guys?”/“Why do girls like jerks?” beat all of those handily, I think.

Or, “parents shouldn’t bring their kids to R-rated movies or restaurants or on airplanes.”

OR, “fat people make me sick” or some variant thereof.

**What happened before/caused the big bang?**

**Hey, I have this really hard riddle**  
Which will turn out to be:  
a) The missing dollar  
b) The ~gry thing  
c) The rearranged ‘triangle’ with a missing square

**Is this true?**  
Which will turn out to be a question about an email-circulated factoid, often concerning ducks and sound waves, but also notably jumping animals.

**Absinthe!**

**I want to break the law, I know it’s wrong, but can you help?**

**Why is the board so slow?**

**Why can’t I edit my posts**
