My sister once asked me if the telly ran on gas or electric (in fairness she was only 19 at the time). My mother once asked me - telephone receiver in hand - "How do you do that '1471' thing?" What is the stupidest question anyone has ever asked you?

Not really a question but certainly a stupid comment ...bought a house once that hadn't been lived in for a long time and whilst looking round with the Estate agent, came to an old coal bunker outside which was still full of coal.
"Oh great " I said since there was a fair amount of it.
"Oh this place hasn't been lived in for years, you can't burn that, it'll be too old" she replied in all earnestness.
Yeah it'd be about 360 million years old to my reckoning....silly bint.
I've lost count of the times my aunt has rung me on my home phone and asked 'Where are you?'
The most recent stupid question came from my mum who, referring to the latest Cadbury's advert with the freaky kids, asked 'How do they get those kids to do that with their eyebrows?'
