Ten stupid questions people usually ask
I always thought people could go no worst; unfortunately, I often encounter people who are at their direst worst – meaning, I thought they couldn't get any stupider. I thought wrong. Hopefully, people don't get any stupider than the ten questions you see here, otherwise, the planet is headed for a great disaster. You be the judge if these questions aren't as stupid as they can get.
1. Are you asleep? For goodness sake, how can someone ask this question and get an answer? If the person is asleep, then obviously you won't get an answer, and why ask the question when the person in front of you is apparently awake? Duh?
2. How many are YOU in your family? Either this is a bad case of the use of reflective pronouns or the first one who asked this question was just so darn stupid. Of course, there will only be one ME in my family, there will only be one ME in the entire planet, even – shouldn't the proper question be, 'How many members are there in your family?'
3. Is your toothache, or headache, or whatever ache, better? Haler? Is there such a thing as a better 'ache'? If there was, I would definitely like to know what the best 'ache' is. Is there some sort of a pain scale so that we can tell which ache is better or best? You gotta be kidding me. You must be a masochist to be asking this question. Perhaps the proper way to put it is this, 'Is your toothache, or headache, or whatever ache gone or gone worse?' Well, it's not that this is a better question, but at least, it gets there more accurately.
4. Do you like the sound of fingernails on a blackboard? What's there to like? The person who asked me this question once either had a bad case of schizophrenia or was just plain stupid. Just thinking of that person asking me this question leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
5. What time do you usually poo? What????? I guess, unless I'm being checked for colon cancer then perhaps I would dignify this question with a response, otherwise, it's just plain and simple, stupid! Why would anyone want to know what time of day I unload my filth into the toilet? For crying out loud, is this what we are all coming to?
6. How do you sleep? Ok… now… frankly, tell me, isn't this the most brainless question a person could ever ask you? Does anybody ever sleep with their eyes open? Maybe if you're a fish or a snake, then maybe you sleep with your eyes open, but try asking a fish or a snake this question. Maybe the better question would be, 'What position do you assume when sleeping?' or 'How well did you sleep last night?'. Most of the time, ambiguity in asking our questions makes the questions sound really funny.
7. Are you drunk? All right, let's just say that you will never get the right answer for this question, because a drunken person will NEVER, I mean, NEVER admit that he or she is drunk, so why bother asking the question in the first place? Besides, if someone is drunk, you would know easily, even without having to ask the question.
8. What time is it? Now, if not for the High School Musical using this question as a line in one of their songs, I would really be pooped by anyone asking me this question. You wanna know the time? Don't you have skills needed to just try and check the time on your own without asking someone else? There are clocks all over, or if there aren't any, can't you at least estimate the time? It's not my fault that you didn't take the liberty of wearing a watch, so why do I have to check the time for you? Call me "suplado", but I think someone who has to be so conscious about the time to even ask for it should have something to tell the time for him/her.
9. Is it raining outside? Analyze the question – can it rain inside? Why not just ask if it is raining?
I just ran out of things to ask, heheheheheheh, hirap nun ah!
Anyway, there - have fun, and try to come up with more stupid questions for the sake of laughter.
Be rational; be insane…every once in a while! TTFN!
I love you all! Byers!
