Just thinking about Willem's post.(55820)
I've asked some stupid questions in my travels, including;
"Do you live here?" (No, I live in
Sydney, this corrugated shed is my weekender)
"What's the weather doing?" (It's raining you idiot!)
"Where's the nearest public phone?" (1 km away through the snow...we have a private one here but you didn't ask so away you go..)
"Where are all the locals?" (in the only habitat within 200K, the pub)
"How far to ?" (ask in time not km ya dork)
"Are you Ok?" (Of course. We just sit here with the bonnet up so passing traffic will stop and ask stupid questions."
"What's on the menu?" (Try reading it you cretin)
"Does this track go to?" (that's what maps are for)
"Which way did you come?" (There's only one track, you stupid git)
What's the silliest question that you've asked while travelling ?

Slightly off question.
My unit at work provides a business advice service. Two of the classics:
1. A client needed advice on starting a new business. We went through the preliminaries, then I asked what type of business was he was thinking about.
"That was the question I came here to ask you" he said. I sat there stunned for a couple of seconds, then suggested the obvious.
2. A little old Italian fella came in one day and wanted to talk about an invention that would change the World.
After a bit of a chat he got to the point. Appears he came up with the idea to dress motor cycle riders in a full body rubberized suit, and have that connected to the exhaust to keep warm in winter.
The vision of the "Michelin Man" full off carbon monoxide, immediately came to mind.
LOL
Regards
Kim

Yo Footloose
Sorry about the not so stupid question but how about this for a stupid answer.....
I walked into an industrial factory store in Wales, once upon a time, during some very heavy rain, as i was a guest, the Boss told me to ask for some inclement
weather gear, so i did as he said and went in , i noticed only one set left on the rack, showed him the correct store docket and his answer to me was, Sorry mate this is the last one on site and someone else might need it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I came back in 15 secs and explained i was that someone else. and you guessed it he said the exact same thing......painful really . Tufts

Gday,
A common one I get asked is..
Hey Bros. .....you got a smoke.
Ans. no $hiit Sherlock
or if it sounds more like a question than a statement......
Yeh mate...$hitiloads, but thanks for offering.
Another one,
The Mrs. is going inside from the shed to the house, I asked her to turn the stereo on....(Shed stereo is run from the house)
She says, "do you want some music on?"
I reply..."No I just like the look of the little lights on the front"
LOL
Cheers

Sorry,
The question was "have you asked"
Better own up I guess!
Its certainly not the silliest but the most recent!
Just out at the drags and bumped into a lot of people I havent seen for a long time.....
I asked "what are you up to"?????
The Ans. should have been...."Same as you ya peanut! watching far%$#g the drags!"
