Stupid Question Day...

Now, I’ve heard the saying that “there is no such thing as a stupid question”. Well let me tell you - those individuals that believe this were blessed to have never crossed paths with a stupid person or they are either stupid people themselves and don’t recognize the signs. For every stupid person, there are at least as many stupid questions and therefore, I bring you today…

“Ask A Stupid Question Day” – September 28th.

Here are a few of my favorites (courtesy of Brain Candy) - some are stupid, others are pure genius…
  • Do you know where you lost it?
  • Can a stupid person be a smart-ass?
  • What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?
  • Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?
  • When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
  • How does a person with a lisp pronounce that word?
  • How does a thermos know whether a drink should be hot or cold?
  • Why can't we tickle ourselves?
  • Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
  • Why do we need training bras? What can we teach them?

"Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?"

MY favorite from my co-workers who think that because I design Web sites I should be their desktop support: "Doesn't the computer realize...."

NO! Computers do not realize anything. They are machines not capable of realizations or thoughts. Well....unless you're talking about a Mac.

@JW - Glad to keep you amused. Hope you are doing well.

@Brian - With little ones, I'm sure you get asked A LOT of questions.

@Cris - Hmmm - I think I'll do some internet research and figure out what a "whack" actually is. Keep posted for updates.

@MJ - OMG - that is hilarious! I can't believe what actually comes out of some people's mouths. I LOVE my Mac :)

I often wondered about the tickling also? I think it is a mental thing about not being in control!

This much stupid I am, a teacher told me, when I asked why is the sky blue. But he couldn't answer me!

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
