What's the stupidest question you've ever asked/heard

[Meg888]

Mine was asking a twin on his 40th birthday how old his twin sister was.....?! But i heard one yesterday; a friend telling another about a book she read of a sole survivor in a nuclear war, her friend asked if it was true!
Come folks, own up - whats yours?

I sat watching the T.V. The covered wagons were pulled into a circle, and the Indians were galloping around them shooting and whooping as the cowboys returned fire.
The father in law came in from the rain, with his glasses all steamed up, squinted at the telly and asked, "Is that the news?"

Meeting old friends at the cinema, �What you doing here?�

Seeing family members �Oh haven�t you grown?�

When buying a set of saucepans in Debenhams once, I was after the ones that you can put straight in the oven. I asked a shop assistant if these particular saucepans were heat proof.

Funny at the time.

Hi Meg888 :-)

my mobile phone rang while I was on the motorway .
I said to my sister , " oh I can't answer that now , it's against the law " . Needless to say she creased up laughing .......
she was the driver and I the passenger !!!

A girl at work asked me if the earth was water all the way through, and we were just islands on the surface. Speechless doesn't really cover it.

I remember being a very inexperienced young man at a party aged 17, and was indulging in some over the clothes 'rubbing' with a young lady. After a few minutes I asked her if she had 'finished' so to speak. Looking back there is just no way she could have done. I'm flushed red and cringing just thinking about it.

Someone once asked me," I like this tie, what size is it?!"

a colleague at work....Ive given it 99% - you cant get better than that!.....

[ummmm]

We took my Nan for a few beers. Someone she hadn't seen in years came up to talk to her. She then turned round to me and said 'What's my name again?' I said 'Nancy' to which she replied 'I know that...but Nancy who?'

My 11 year old told me this morning...during the war the YMCA use to sell free food!!

I was with one of the guys here at the photocopier and we were trying to copy something and it was printing and then it ran out of paper and started using the draw below where the paper was set to print 'landscape' and when it came out I said 'Oh no, it's changed shape'!!!! Duh!!!

But my worst one was when our cleaner wasn't here and she normally puts the fruit out in the mornings so I did it that morning and then the guy I fancy was at the fruit bar near my desk and he said 'Ooh nice, we've got plums' and I said 'Oh is that what they are? I was putting them out and I didn't know what they were'! How embarrassing! I kind of knew they were plums but they were different colour and bigger! He just looked at me and said 'Bless you'!!!!

Last week in B & Q I bought something about �38.50 in value. The till girl punched in the amount before I could produce my over 60's 10% discount card.
She asked the next till operator,,,, What is 10% of �38.50 ?????

[Rubyrose]

My friend has 2 little boys. One is 4 and one is 5. When I was round her house the 4yr old took off his clothes and started running about naked! The 5yr old came up to me and said 'Look, Kk is being Gay'... I said 'Ok, what does Gay mean then?' He said 'When you have no clothes on'! Bless!

When my mum was at work.. for some reason they started singing 'One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow'... and afterwards my mum asked "Where is Mow?"

LOL!! On holiday in France my mate (ordering a meal) said to the girl in the cafe - Instead of french fries, can I have chips with that!!

Also on a flight to Malaga, i bumped into a guy i knew sitting on the plane and asked where he was going on his holidays?!

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, the most stupid question i have ever asked (and i believe anyone could ever ask) is
Why cant the muslim religion be tolerant with others?

[mickyilly]

how did he get shot?! (duh gun!)

[RATTER15]

I had set a large rat cage trap and caught about 5 live rats I couldn't deal with them at that specific time so returned to them about 5 hours later.
On re-visiting the trap found that all that was left of the rats was 5 very clean skulls, being the only part that wouldn't go through the mesh. My very young co-worker said, "well look at that, they've eaten each other" I nearly had to slap him lol.
I never did find out what happened to them, really strange!!!

[Meg888]

This is how dense i really am - it's taken since mickyilly posted his answer for me to get it - i thought he'd replied to the wrong thread and Ratter15 - thats exactly what i thought happened to the rats!!
