“Is that gun loaded?”
If asked of a sidearm worn in public:
well duh, it wouldn’t be very useful if it wasn’t.
If asked in any other case:
all guns are considered loaded until you personally have checked that they are not. So its a null question.

Where are the British soldiers at?
If a tree fell on the Pope while he was taking a shit in the woods, would that make all bears Catholic?
This is what I’ve always wondered: If you lead a horse to drink, can you make him water?
There is a sign at an intersection near my house that says:
Cross When Safe
No doubt, good advice, but should you really be walking the streets if you haven’t figured this one out?
I do this all the time. Not sure how other people mean it but for me, it’s verbal shorthand for “you should be more careful in the future”.

Are we having fun yet?
I just hate that one.
Really, folks! There are no stupid questions! [sub]but stupid people do ask questions.[/sub]
Are we there yet?
Why do bakeries sell donut holes but not bagel holes? Are they just throwing the bagel holes away?
WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP?!
“There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.”
“There’s no such thing as a stupid question. But if there were, that would be one.”
Just a sample of the gems I get at a college library:
How do you get out?
Um… the same way you came in, only push instead of pull.
Where are the books?
(Won’t even dignify this with an answer here.)
How do you get to the 3rd floor?
Take the elevator up two flights maybe?
I’d like to qualify all this by saying that I understand how people could not know these things, and I’m never rude or sarcastic but each day I am astounded by the inability/unwillingness of people to figure things out for themselves. People actually come up to you, hand you their homework, and expect you to do it!
“Is this thread still going!?”
How do buffaloes fly with those tiny little wings?

“Is anybody sitting there?”
I have one that’s not stupid as in “ignorant” but stupid as in “annoying”.
How about when you trip and some moron says, “Walk much?” or “Have a nice trip?”
Urgh.
