Stupid Questions
a.k.a. "Is that a New Sink?"

We've all heard them, we've been asked them.  Most of us have even asked them.

My first roommate, Dan, after leaving home was the king of asking stupid questions.  Don't take this as an endorsement of doing drugs; but usually we were too high to have even noticed them.  It was the rare occasion when we were sober that myself and another room mate really noticed it.  We were burn-outs; our neighbors were burn-outs. 4 'adults' living in a single 1 bedroom duplex never phased any of the neighbors, and for some reason didn't really both any of us either; we were all just glad to be out of the parents house.  We had no car and we all worked together in another city about 10 miles away.  We bought groceries once every two weeks (every other payday).  We ate a lot of ramen noodles (and we bought the store brand, not the name brands). A LOT of them.  It took 3 of us to carry all the ramen home from the store.  On one of those trips we decided to confront Dan on his ability of pointing out the obvious in the form of a question; to which he disagreed.  Not more than 5 minutes later we see one of our neighbors bringing into his apartment what was obviously a sink. It still had the protective blue wrap on it, so it was obviously new. Dan, being as astute as he is, asks the question:  "Is that a new sink"?

For the better part of my living with Dan, I would constantly remind him that one day I would write a book called "Is That a New Sink?" The book would contain ALL the stupid questions he ever asked.  Like I mentioned earlier, we were burnouts; and I forgot most of them.  Since that time, all my friends call me, email, whatever to tell me about the newest stupid question they either heard or were asked.  Like I said, we were burnouts; I'm still recovering brain cells, and have forgotten most of them too.

The following list is my life goal and ambition to bring this collective of stupid questions into the public eye.  This is an on going process so check back often.  As the list grows, I'll make it easier to follow by breaking it down into categories; but until then, just enjoy the list.


Is that a new sink? - Read above.
What's the difference between a footlong and a 6 inch? Asked when I worked at subway.
- The answer: Um; 6 inches. This turned into a loop before I finally let the person realize they were an idiot on there own as I happily walked away from them.
Where are you? My step dad asked me this once during a phone conversation. This was a time before cell phones, and HE CALLED ME.
-The answer: Who's number did you just call?
Do you have any appoints available on Friday? Someone asked my sister this when she worked the phone for a doctors office.  It doesn't sound like a stupid question, but it is VERY stupid.  He originally asked about making an appointment for the next day (Thursday); my sister said "No, I'm sorry, the doctor is booked for the next two weeks."
Is it always going to be that big? I'm not going to explain this one.  But I will say that person was asking it about someone's ass.  Not the whole ass, just the hole.
Were you wearing your seatbelt?

All the nurses at the hospital asked me this one after I told them about flying around the cab of the truck during an accident. 
My Reply: "Weren't you listening?  I said I was 'thrown around the cab'!"

Is it dead? 'Big Head' Pete asked 'Scuba' Steve this question after he said that the moth had been flying around the store all morning.
Why can't you guys call me by my 'real' nickname, Ace? Again, 'Big Head' Pete asked this one.  Really???  Who the fuck wants to be called 'Ace'???
Did you guys hit something? This is a great one.  Yeah, it's a 'normal' ice breaker type of stupid question (like, "Is that a new sink?"); but this guy took it a step further...He really didn't know.  Clicking here will show you what he was asking about.
Is that any good?

A waitress asked this of Commodore Sloan after he ordered his food. And this wasn't about some new item; it was one of their mainstay meals.  It was like the waitress asking you if the steak is any good when you asked for it at Outback   STEAKHOUSE.  If you don't know, don't ask; don't let the customer you wouldn't eat the food at the place where you work!  maybe that's what her point was....I don't know...but it still qualifies either way.

Do I get a happy ending with that? It's not a completely stupid question, but it was asked to a massage therapist during a physical therapy session.  It's in a grey area for this list, because it wasn't asked seriously; it was  a joke.  I know, because I asked it.

Is that for here or to go? Asked at Arby's by the girl taking someone else's Drive-Thru order....
Did you know that Mini-Wheat's are made with wheat? I don't need to explain this one, do I?
