Sorry, Ethilrist, but that doesn’t count. I’ve tried too many times to sit somewhere and been told, “Sorry, (so-and-so who is getting the so-and-so) is sitting there.”
Or maybe you mean that, “Is this seat taken” would sound better?
That it has a stupid answer does not preclude its being a stupid question. OBVIOUSLY no-one is sitting there, the seat is EMPTY.
while watching the movie Philadelphia
Stupid beautiful man to me: What city do you think this takes place in?
Me: uh…honey, it would be Philadelphia
SBM: Well, I thought maybe they named it after the song
Me: (to myself) He truly is a moron. He makes the baby Jesus cry.
Neighbor to other neighbor while he was caulking his windows: “What are ya doin’, caulkin’?” (Dream answer: No, I’m priming this tube so it can be inserted rectally into the next neighbor that asks a dumb question).
Guy with a flat tire and a jack usually gets asked, “Whatya got, a flat?” (Dream answer: No, the other tires are just really overinflated)
Anyone to anyone: “What did ya get, a haircut?” (Dream answer: No, my scalp got real thick overnight)
This is the dumb question thread, isn’t it?
Are you guys playing cards?
Working hard… or hardly workin’?
This reminds of those highway signs that say :
“Pass with care”
I keep waiting for the
“Pass with reckless abandon” signs, ain’t seen one yet.
Who is Cecil?
Has Cecil answered this before?
Damn, you beat me to it! You have no idea how much I hate it when people say that :mad:

As demonstrated in a client meeting earlier this afternoon…
Client: “We want to swap Photo A with Photo B.”
Clueless Account Exec.: “So Photo A will go where Photo B currently is?”
Client: “Yes.”
CAE: “Will Photo B go where Photo A currently is?”
Client: “Well, that’s what ‘swap’ means, right?”
What happens if all the countries around Afghanistan say the US can’t fly over them? It’s a landlocked country. Do we dig tunnels or what?
It was Thanksgiving day and more of my family showed up than in most years. While enjoying the elder, more conservative company, I had a few drinks with the younger, let’s have a good time, part of my family. After dinner the entire family was still in the kitchen, and even the elders enjoyed a cocktail in celebration of the great turnout. So in the mood, against good judgement, I was talking about Shark Week, with Steve the Croc hunter; and how much fun we had with it when I lived at the shore for the summer. When the “elders” asked me about Steve, I did my best impression in an Australian accent, with an exact quote from one of the episodes:
“JUST LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT SHARK COMPARED TO TERRY’S DINGHY!!!”
Everyone graciously laughed because I was having a good enough time to make an ass out of myself in front of my Grandparents and uncles.
So I continued with a few more quotes, and finally repeated the original one.
My mom, the most conservative of all, was laughing hysterically because she was in such a great mood that everyone was there and she was enjoying the moment, yells over the loud laughing, genuinely:
“OOHHHHHHH, You’re talking about a BOAT”
Needless to say we laughed until Christmas, young and old.

Come on, everyone knows that the only stupid question is the one that is never asked…however…When people drive in to an Old Growth Redwood Preserve, and then proceed to ask “So, where are the big trees?” I have to wonder…
…why?
So, hot enough for ya?

My son is adopted from S. Korea…came home at six months. I was signing him up for daycare, and explaining some of the adoption issues (seperation anxiety, bonding/attachment issues). The daycare worker said “well, he won’t speak Engligh then, will he?”
I answered “at six months, most babies don’t speak alot of any language.”
There’s a sign a few towns over that reads “Right Turn On Red Only After Stopping”
It gets me every time. I wonder why there isn’t signage at every intersection that reads: “Remain Stopped Until Light Turns From Red To Green” or “Do Not Strike People Walking Between White Lines at City Intersections” …maybe throw in the value of the infraction: "Killing a Pedestrian up to $300 Fine.
(Just as friendly reminders of all the things we learned in Driver’s Ed. I tend to forget and these signs would be a big help).
Here’s a winner…a friend of mine goes to see the movie Pearl Harbor with her fiancee. After it’s over she turns to him and says in complete seriousness…“honey, did that really happen?”
