What is a stupid question?

It is said there is not one, but there must be, isn't it?

2. I was once in a training class...

...where the instructor actually said, "That is a stupid question."

It was many years ago, and not the company I work for now...

I just remember the silence that followed...you really could have heard a pin drop.

Don't remember the question, though...sorry!

6. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

However, stupid people ask questions every day. :)

7. Well one that drives me up the wall

Is when I'm doing something obvious...like reading a book, watching TV, doing the dishes, etc...dh will come in and say "Whatcha doin'?"

"Finding a cure for Cancer." is usually my answer.

12. Some of the stupidest questions I've ever been asked

by people who were usually smart are-

Do you know you dyed your hair?
How can she be your sister, she looks so much like you?
Which is the washing machine and which is the dryer?
Did you vote for Bush (anybody who knows me realizes this is a stupid question ;-))?

Then of course there are stupid follow up questions-

Do you speak Spanish?
No, I only speak English.
Are you sure?
Now that I think of it, I do. Thanks for reminding me :eyes:.

14. There are definitely stupid questions.

Over the summer we had a temp who we occasionally convinced to do a lunch run. One day my boss orders a turkey club on toasted white, I ordered turkey on toasted rye, another guy orders pastrami on toasted wheat, and my then-girlfriend ordered grilled cheese on white. The temp actually asked her if she wanted the bread toasted.

Don't even think of telling me that this is an understandable mistake. Just don't.
