There are no dumb Question? Or are there?

Write down the dumbest question you have asked or someone has asked you. Mine was is was chomping on lifesavers and I always chew on them in class. So when i was at home chomping on one I looked at my mom and
" asked her if she could hear it or was I only hearing it in my head "


here's is on from my daughter to her friend

"You know what steak tar tar is right?"
"It's like the seasoning right?"
???
"Are you talking about the sauce for fish?"
"Yeah. TAR TAR sauce." (duh)
"Um that's tartar sauce, Dani, not steak."

While petting my pet rabbit, a girl (about 14 years old) asked, "Is this real rabbit fur?"

I was on a date talking to this guy about surfing. I made a comment about the tides and the gravitational pull of the moon. He was totally confused. He asked 'arent the waves caused by people jumping in on the other side?'. Im like - the other side of what? 'The Ocean' he responds.
Mind you this was a 23 year old man. No second date.

Working in a liquor store, I was once asked, "What do I need for Gin and Tonics?"

I asked if yams came from the ocean...
In my defense I KNOW yams are sweet potatoes, but I thought maybe there was a yam that was like a shellfish or something....
I have no idea why I asked that!
:huh:

My husband who is an IT gets the best ones at work...

Employee: This web site is not working
Hubby: You left out a w in www, just add it
Employee: ok, where should I add it
Hubby: *sigh*

Another...

At a company meeting, presenter puts up a slide of "on this day" and the years of the events are 1909, 1945, 1958, 1967, 1981, 2003. Hubby speaks up and says, "I have only been alive for one of those." Dead serious a woman says "really, which one?"

:noway:

I work at a bank...I deal with people who are overdrawn on a regular basis.

Customer: My account is overdrawn. How can that be? I still have all these checks left....


I seriously question how people have made it this far in life....

I worked in a bank for a bit... I did get that one a lot. Along with... how do I fill out a check/withdrawl slip? Oh and I loved the people who walked by 4 signs that the ATM was down, nevermind the message on the screen and would still try to jam their card into it and then get mad. :laugh:

I came home in the midst of a downpour one morning.

I walk in the front door and comment to the hubs.."Wow it's really raining"

He says.."Outside?"

i worked for a major health insurance company and was once asked by a patient if they would be approved for a hysterectomy reversal.
um. you make that possible, and i'll work on the approval...

i also worked for a pizzeria and took orders all the time for a "supreme pizza with extra ham but no canadian bacon".
or my favorite: "meat lovers with no pork products" --- that would be a pizza with beef topping...

There are 5 of us patrolling around in the police van, the only backpack allowed in uniform is plain black (actually I think plain navy blue as well but forget that). The driver turns around and says, "Hey can you hand me my backpack? It's the one that's black." Really? Idiot.

Also, another was more of a comment from someone I was working in the Hangar with,
HIm: "Hahaha they forgot the 'r' in portable!"
Me:"That's potable, not portable. Two totally different meanings."
Him:"What? No it should say portable, it's portable water for the NAOC; so they can have water when they fly."
Me: "Nope, definitely potable-so they can have DRINKABLE water when they fly."

Same guy:

Him: What does the B in B52 stand for?
Me: Bomber
Him: I know it's a bomber, but what does the B stand for?
Me: I can't talk to you any more.

One time someone posted here, "How do I post a topic on the forums". That was classic.

And then it happened another time, by a different person. Amazing huh?

Makes you wonder....

Happened in the gym. A girl asked me why guys refer to weighted plates as nickels, dimes, and quarters. I told her because nickel is 5lbs, and dime is 10lbs, and a quarter is 25lbs. She then asked "So would the 45lbs plate must be the dollar because it's the biggest?"

Another: I was teaching a female a workout on a "21" rep system on bicep curls. I showed her that you do 7 reps from start to halfway point of a lift, then the next 7 from halfway point to end position, then the next 7 from start to end position. She said "Wow, that really worked my biceps! But I don't get why you call it "21's"?

I once was driving past a hospital with a friend and she asked why there was an ambulance there lol. The same friend told me it gets colder the closer you get to the equator.
