The “are you back from vcation?” question.
From me - Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night: “Did you do/finish your homework yet?”
Hmm…What’s the stupedist question ever asked? Well, I don’t know, but its probably one that someone repeated before giving a reply.
“Whenever a man hears it
he is young, and Nature
is in her spring;
whenever he hears it, it
is a new world and a free
country, and the gates of
heaven are not shut
against him”
–Thoreau, on
the song of the wood thrush
Good think you didn’t do that in Lake Erie!
How about this one? A local reporter asked this to some Redskin during a Super Bowl press conference.

Maybe it isn’t the stupidest question ever asked, but it was definitely the stupidest question ever asked during a Super Bowl.
(Note: Some people would claim that question would be one said to Doug Williams: “How long have you been a black quarterback” , but that was a misquote. The actual question is smarter. “Doug, it’s obvious you’ve been a black quarterback all your life. When did it start to matter?”)

That’s a Barbara Walters question! Not some local reporter. She’s famous for having asked someone that, but I certainly have no idea who was being questioned. I don’t think I was born at the time.
I once heard Bob Costas ask that, but he was joking.

“Don’t Do It.”
Do you want fries with that?
No, okay, then this question to me from a Japanese in a Tokyo pub:
Do you eat chicken in America?
My answer: Yeah, when we can catch 'em.
Argh.
I pulled up to the drive-thru at Burger King. After taking my order, the kid asked, “Is that for here or to go?”
… Actually, I would like you to hand it to me now, I’ll go park the car, and then come inside and sit down. Okay?
“It is only out of sheer, morbid curiosity that I am allowing this freakshow to continue…”
My sister worked as a ranger in Yosemite. She got a few good ones, such as:
“Where do you buy the squirrel food?”
“How long did it take Walt Disney to build the Valley?”
It’s not how you pick your nose, it’s where you put the boogers
The stupidest question always cames after one has made an affirmative unambiguous statement of fact. The question: “Oh is it?” Obviously, yes it is, you dumbass, because if it weren’t then I wouldn’t have said it is, now would I?
The answer to that question, BTW, is “no, I lied.”
David Brenner (comedian) told an anecdote in his standup: He was on a subway, sitting on a newspaper because the seat was damp. A guy asked him, “Are you reading that?” He said, “Yes,” stood up, turned the page, and sat down again.
I guess I’m just better off living with my inner tensions.

Does this taste like it’s gone bad?
No, that’s a very smart question! What, you’re gonna taste that bad milk yourself?
Sorry for hujacking the thread. I’ll nominate myself for the honor with the following:
Go easy on me. I’m new at this. Thanks.
I wouldn’t want to “hijack” the thread either.
Original Post or Original Poster. Don’t worry, MtnMan… that was a perfectly valid question.
