Remember when you were in school and you were told that there is no such thing as a dumb question? Remember the stares you received from the other children when you ask that question?
Do you know why your schoolmates were giving you weird looks? It was because you asked a dumb question!
My Dumb Question
I remember the day like it was 25 years ago. Wait, it was 25 years ago. I was in the second grade and I had a question. I am naturally a reserved person so I didn’t want to ask my question in front of the whole class.
I slowly made my way up to the teacher, took a deep breath and asked,
Mrs. K, how do I spell my last name?
She then responded,
YOUR LAST NAME! YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL YOUR LAST NAME?!
Well of course I know how to spell my last name Mrs. Krap! I just wanted you to embarrass me in front of the whole class! I felt about 2 inches tall and embarrassed big time!
I learned that day not to ask the teacher anything. This really frustrated my third grade teacher that I had the next year.

can fat people go skinny dipping ?

Mmm… sounds like Dunkin’ Donuts.
Chris Berman said it best: “There are no stupid questions; only stupid questions who ask questions.”
Why do we park on the driveway and drive on the parkway?
I answered a stupid question the media is asking in a tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/ahmnodtheare/statuses/62497425830576129
I know what a driveway is but what is a parkway?
Why is the place you park your car at home referred to as a driveway but the place you park your car at Wal-Mart called a parking lot?
Are you backwards? Does your nose run and your feet smell?
From the wall behind me? Yes.
My nose is a close cousin to my feet. They smell and run interchangeably.
What’s the phone number to 911?
000 here in Australia
How in the world am I supposed to remember that Tony! That would be like calling the operator in the United States 3 times.
If you’re meant to drink beer with beer nuts what are you meant to drink with peanuts?
Is that your new gravatar, Mel?
(that one’s from the, ‘did you just get a haircut’ family of dumb questions)
This gravatar resembles my natural hair color.
Is Obama a Kenyan?
Is the glass half-full, or half empty? That one always drives me crazy. It’s like ying and yang. There’s no right answer!!
I thought it would be chicken or the egg for you Binky
Loved your embarrassment story.
My dumbest question was: “Sheep have hooves??? I always thought they had paws” I was in my mid 30′s when I asked that question. I even asked my Mum if she knew sheep had hooves. She did so I challenged her as to why she never told me that…
Michelle still tells people “Tony thought sheep had paws!!!” I’ve even had little old ladies laugh at me over that one. My excuse I grew up in a mining town not a farming community.
My wife and I both enjoyed that story. Now I have a story to tell people. Hey did you here the one about Tony?
My next dumb question is -
How come I can’t post any comments to your post about changing your brand?
I can see the comments other folk have left but I can’t see any way to leave one myself – there is no Leave a Reply facility showing under that post as there is here and no nifty wee ‘reply’ icons at bottom right of the other comments ?
Have you closed off comments on that post or is it just me being dumb ?
I never read the small print
LOL
Cool post
Is Obama American?
