View Full Version : Dumbest Question
oldgringo 10-05-2004, 06:26 PM What is the dumbest question someone has ever asked you?
I remember that back in High School a buddy asked me some hilarious ****. I was talking with a few other kids about how Gilette sends you the free mach 3 razor in the mail when you turn 18 as a promotional thing. My friend just turned 18 and he then said to me, "Holy cow man that's awesome!!! So they just send you a free mach 3? How long do you get to keep it for???" He was dead serious too. It was very funny stuff.

bigdlb12 10-05-2004, 10:44 PM I work for a call center and am also in the spanish department, I answer the call in spanish (when it shows that it is a spanish call on our phones) and then after my introduction the customer (spanish speaking) asks me if I speak Spanish. WTF? I tell them Yes,I answered you in spanish :eek:
oldgringo 10-05-2004, 11:07 PM This one night me and my roomates had these girls over and they brought a bunch of liquor and beer. They asked us where to put it and we showed em where the fridge was. After a couple of drinking games this blondie (of course :D ) says, "Where's the beer???" She also said later on..."there's basketball in the olympics?"
The Fix 10-06-2004, 12:19 AM a friend and i were eating the same burgers and he ended up asking me before i even took a bite "does it taste good" after he had almost finished eating the very same type of burger.
HomicideHank 10-06-2004, 02:26 AM This dope I work with recently asked me that if he were to go to Canada for vacation if he would lose his U.S. citizenship.
This same dope once argued with me that alcohol isn't a drug because it's legal. He calls Chicago Bear running back Anthony "A-Train" Thomas "The A-Trailer"....He also has been calling Barry Bonds 'Larry Bonds' for as long as I've known him.
My personal favorite moment is him telling me he was giving up drinking pop. I caught him a week later with pop in his cup. I questioned him on it--his reply?? "Aww no, bro, this aint pop, this is root beer...."
F'ing priceless.
oldgringo 10-06-2004, 11:21 AM haha...thats hilarious...so is your avatar. "Iron" Mike Ferret. :D

neils7147933 10-06-2004, 10:55 PM This wasn't a question but it belongs in this discussion.
I work in a factory where there are a couple individuals who used to watch professional wrestling. And back then, so did I. I was intrigued by the storylines, and being new to the whole thing I downloaded a bunch of old fights, went to websites to get all the backstories, etc.
So I'm talking to this guy who's like 55 years old about The UnAmericans. For those that don't know, in the post-9/11 wrestling world, Vince McMahon actually thought it would be a good idea to take some Canadian heel (badguys) guys he wanted to get over, in the same faction. They would come to the ring with an upside down American flag and taunt the American fans about their horrible country.
So we're discussing the group and I say, "You know this idea could backfire because things are so emotional right now. This gimmick might be enough to hurt these guys's abilities to turn face (good guy) at another time. The crowd will hold that gimmick against them and deny the push."
And he says, "Yeah. It's probably not good to have them coming out and saying those things before their matches. It's just bad taste.....And if they don't like our country, they can just move."
And he was serious.
Dr.Depravity 10-06-2004, 10:55 PM Pop is a midwestern term for Soda-Pop or Cola aka coke or pepsi. Sometimes called soft drinks.
neils7147933 10-06-2004, 11:04 PM I remember back in high school our English teacher was talking about how she vacationed in Japan. One of our slower students raised her hand and asked her if she had to drink out of a river while she was over there.

Haha...that's good stuff. The wrestling fanatics are crazy as all hell.
Dr.Depravity 10-06-2004, 11:11 PM I had a friend from Iowa, like me. When he lived in L.A. he had people ask him if we had cars in Iowa.

kepsy 10-06-2004, 11:49 PM well, not really a stupid question... but have you guys ever been asked to write down your phone number and you mess them up by putting the dash somewhere else?? instead of 123-4567 you write 1-234567?? Try and see the reaction you get... lol sometimes the looks are priceless, and some would even go so far as to argue that it's not a phone number.... :D

US and Canada normally have a dash in the phone numbers after the third number. People are so used to seeing it that if you misplace it you sometimes get a confused look.
The Fix 10-09-2004, 12:32 AM not a dumb question but look at thier names combined

Dyl-G 11-01-2004, 11:01 PM in my english class we had been reading this short story for a couple of weeks and discussing it in class. it was basically about the union and confederate army. we kept talking about what side is which color and this idiot raised his hand and in all serious was like "what color is the north?" my teacher just looked at him with the most classic look. and i started cracking up. sad, that even a citizen of his own country doesnt know two colors of the most important war in american history,
TysonForeman 11-02-2004, 02:50 AM People who come to this country and take the Citizenship test about American history probably know roughly 10 times as much about this country as native born citizens.
TysonForeman 11-02-2004, 02:51 AM And I remember seeing that flash card thing on Jay Leno, and I was so tired that for a second I didn't even realize what was wrong with it...
Pretty sad.
vB Martin 11-02-2004, 04:16 AM I was at a BK drive through one time and the girl asked me if I wanted it for here or to go.
I replied, "for here, please".
It took her about 5 seconds...
One of my favorite things to do is respond to those polite, rhetorical questions with the exact opposite of what people are used to hearing. Sometimes they are so expecting the same old answer, they don't even notice.
I was at Costco, waiting in line for gas, about 2 cars back from the pump (even at Coscto, the regular unleaded here is $2.14/gal) and the pump attendant comes up to my truck and asks, "Would you mind putting that out before you get to the pump?"
I replied, "Yes, I would." And just went back to looking straight ahead.
He stopped in his tracks and looked back at me to see if I was kidding.
