Stupid questions

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

I thought he said "got any stupid questions?", not "got any questions, stupid?".

Oh, sorry, I thought that was a stupid question.

You helped me realize it wasn't.

Yes, it truly is the idea- but is it the plan?

That is indeed a very stupid question.

Aren't you glad that Sharon Stone came to Kate Moss' defense? And isn't it silly to get mad at a supermodel for snorting coke in the first place? I thought that was in paragraph 3 of the job description right after "Blow George Clooney."

If 7-11 stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, why do they have locks on the doors?

Further to Tim(e)'s post above, and adapted from Steven Wright:

While strolling along a city street, a man noticed a shopkeeper locking up his store, while a blinking neon sign in the window displayed "Open 24 Hours...Open 24 Hours." The man inquired of the shopkeeper "Hey, the sign says you are open 24 hours. What's up?" to which the shopkeeper replied"

And in the spirit of things, further to Mr Average's post above, the following from "Shirt" by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band:

Good morning, could I have this shirt cleaned express, please?
Yes, that'll be three weeks, dearie.

Three weeks? But the sign outside says "59 Minute Cleaners"!
Yes, that's just the name of the shop, luv. We take three weeks.

If prunes are dried plums, how can there be prune juice?

Simarly, if fruits and vegetables (other than avocados and olives) contain no fat, how can there be vegetable oil?

I think flinging them is acceptable as well. Possibly throwing. I don't think they toss well, however.

Yes or No. "Have you stopped beating your wife?"


The best political debate questions that are fired off candidate to candidate often take this form. The head of the DNC, Dr. Howie Dean (last night on Letterman he did his best imitation of the Joker when he said "This Town Needs and Enema" by saying that the he has "diagnosed the problem with the DNC and they need a backbone transplant"), and Carville are very good at formulating these kinds of questions. Hannity tries, but he is a bit too dimwitted to pull it off. He projects his pitches, and as his interviewee's gain an understanding of his modus operandi, they have been laying in wait and scoring big points in debates with Shaun-o.
