Back in the 80’s, there was a book called The Book of Questions. It was designed as a way to get people to discuss sometimes-philosophical matters. You’d get such questions as “Would you leave the country and never return for $1,000,000?” It became a big hit and, as these things do, spawned a parody, The Book of Stupid Questions. That book asked a lot of, well, stupid questions, many sexually oriented.

I used to have copies of both books, but the stupid one has gone missing over the past 15 years or so.

Does anyone else remember this? If you happen to have a copy, please share some questions.

Did you try an search at [abebooks.com](http://abebooks.com)? Usually if it can be found, it’ll be there.  
A simple google search did turn up a humour site that posted some of those questions. In the interest of brevity, I’ll just post the url: [http://www.brainlock.org/fun/stupidquestions.htm](http://www.brainlock.org/fun/stupidquestions.htm)
