stupidest question you've ever been asked

kobayashi · 11-22-2001, 09:12 PM

i'm sure this has been done a lot but...well i don't have a reason for doing it again aside from the fact i've never seen it done.

i sold cell phones last year to make cash during school. a lady comes in says she needs a lotta minutes, a really cool phone. we pick one out for her, activate it, and as i'm finishing up with her she asks me how to use it-a little odd but some have never used them. so i tell her about dialing and having to hit the 'send' button.

she say's to me, 'well where does the phone go?'
i look at her confused.
she responds, 'when you hit send, where does it go?'
soon after i am fighting back extreme bouts of laughter as my coworkers are howling.

Kobayashi's bizarre use of colour, superfast editing and extreme camera angles, coupled with a hilariously deadpan performance by Toshiro Takemitsu as the inspector who discovers a whole family of ghosts travelling without valid tickets, remains without peer.

girl in my class: "Guerilla warfare? Isn't that cruelty to animals?"

Well I 'strain my brain' to think of the dumbest one EVER, but, because it happened so recently..

When I was in Vegas to see U2, the man who drove the airport shuttle-a very pleasant man, probably around 55 years old, asked me why I was in Vegas. When I told him-he said 'U2-who are they-never heard of them'. I said-'Oh, you've never heard of their lead singer-Bono?'

And he asked-'Isn't he that guy from Miami?'

Wouldn't it be cool if the 4th of July came on Friday the 13th?

"Do you think Bill Clinton was involved with Monica Lewinsky?"

What do you like about those elders??? (about U2)

A survey conductor asked me, 'Miss Suen, are you female or male?'

sulawesigirl4 · 11-23-2001, 11:49 AM

Oh, I have lists and lists. Since I grew up in the jungles of Indonesia, coming back to visit people in the States was always a fun-filled time of stupid questions.

"Do you speak English?"
"Do you know what a DOG is?"
"Do you eat monkeys?"

arg!

Considering the fact that I read and write English better than most Americans I've met, that I've had several dogs, and that no one with any hygeine sense would even touch a monkey (they're dirty little bastards), they always seemed like lame questions to me.

The dumbest question in my books is 'what are you doing?' I am not known for my patience I tell you, more my sarcasm and my ability to insult anyone. So my standard reply is 'what the f*** does it look like numbnuts?' Oh, and I'm known for my colourful language too. I am such a lady.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Stupid me goes back to edit spelling mistakes... score one for karma.
