What are the "stupidest" questions you've heard?

[snakeblitz33]

I've heard some really interesting, amusing, and very stupid questions. What are some of the stupidest questions you have ever heard ... or asked? It doesn't have to be aquarium related. I'll start:
1. OOO, look at that pretty yellow fish, what is it? A tang? Can I keep it in my 10 gallon guppy tank?
2. How much morton salt do I need to add to my 55 gallon to keep nemo?
3. What type of lights do I need to keep an angelfish?
4. Do you reccommend a 2 gallon sump for a 75 gallon tank?
5. Isn't the fuzzy red stuff on the rocks good though?
6. *guy reading a book* second guy asks "Is the cable fixed yet?" NOO

Are they twins?

Do they have the same birthday?

So they are same age?
- No, one is a year older... DUH!

I know the topic is questions but I will share a great answer. I was interviewing someone for a banking position and I asked "What are your strengths and weaknesses?". The response for weakness was "History and Science".

"How do you like my fish only reef tank?"
and
"Can I put that cool damsel with my lionfish?

 

[snakeblitz33]

Answers are great to give too, sometimes the answers are just as funny as the questions.
Example -
"did you get stuck?"
"Nope - I just like laying in this position underneath a car."

My friend has twins and gets all sorts of questions but I think the most bizarre one was "Do you love one more than the other?"
Not so much a question but overheard: Several teenage girls had wandered into the SW section of the LFS with the 1g bowl, gravel and fake pink plant that they were planning on getting a fish for.... and deciding which tang they liked best, hippo or yellow... One girl said to the other "Oh, I hope they're not expensive" and the other girl was like "yeah, no way they will be much, they are just stupid fish!" I had to leave... It was the kind of LFS that just might try to make that sale regardless

a few friends of mine who have boy/girl twins get those questions too. I could write a book of all the stupid questions I've been asked... during the pregnancy and then once they were born.

Ever been broke down on the side of the road with the hood up trying to fix the car? Then someone stops and asks "Are you having car trouble?"

 

[aquaguy24]

i'd rather ppl ask stupid questions then for them to just go ahead and throw in 10 different fishes in their 1 day old uncycled tank..

Back in my office equipment fixing days a guy calls and rips into me because his brand new fax machine wont work. He can make copies on it but not send or receive faxes.
Me "Pick up the phone receiver and make sure you are getting a dial tone"
Customer "They wont be here to install the phone line until Tuesday"
ME count to ten, again. ahem. Stress: The result of resisting to overwhelming temptation to point out the fact that the person who just chewed you out is an absolute moron.

i think the stupidest question is when someone asks you if youre awake until you wake up...

Back in the day when I worked in the LFS, I got asked if you could keep a seahorse in a bowl with a goldfish. That one has stuck with me.
