Why me? WHY ME?

Yeah, that’s two questions, but it is the same question, and I really want to know.

I have a question for guys about intercourse. It occurred to me the other day that the first penetrating stroke is special in that it takes your breath away and you definitely don’t stop there. Is it the same for guys or just the means of getting to the end?

I know what you’re thinking, punk. You’re thinking, “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?

Here’s the answer: Dude, you just asked it.

Here’s my question, based on a philosopher-geek joke: excluding both the set consisting of this question and this answer and any similarly self-referential sets, what is the question-and-answer set comprising both the best question I could ask, and the most thorough, comprehensive, and correct answer to that question?
