    Must be something with those Bostonians.

    A group of friends and I were up in the Boston area a few years back when we ran into some locals.

    "Where you from?"
    "New Mexico"
    "Wow, you speak english really well!"

    I guess technically the stupid part wasn't the question, but still...

    The stupidest question I have ever been asked had to have been the one that Jeff Hagedorn asked me the day the Rockets ran the creating the Yao Ming song video piece. Shortly into the third quarter my phone rang and Jeff said.."Hey I'm in a hurry and on the other line with so and so from ESPN. They want your consent to play a portion of the piece on Sportcenter tonight."

    I told him..."That's the stupidest question I have ever been asked. Um...yes they can play it."

    I am never too ashamed to admit to my own mistakes and instead tell the stupidest question I have asked. I saw some one I knew at Macy's while Christmas shopping and I asked her, "so, when are you due?"

    ...she was not pregnant. :eek::eek: ...but she was an ex of mine that I went threw a nasty break up with way back in HS :D:D

    There's one girl at my school who always seems to ask stupid questions. I can't remember many offhand. The only one I can remember right now is:

    "Who is Picasso?"

    It seems like she had NO CLUE who he was.

    Oh yeah, I use to get some pretty dumb questions about being blind without my glasses. I would take them off and then they would ask if I could see how many fingers they had up. I may have had trouble had they been 50 feet away, but being only a couple feet away, its pretty stupid.

    I hate to admit it but the stupidest question ever came from my Mom. She obviously was not up on her geography. We moved from Houston to Vancouver, WA in 1992. My Dad had the road atlas out a few days before the big drive and my Mom asked if we would be able to visit her friend who lived in Florida along the way... I don't know what else to say, except don't diss my Mom please. She is no longer with us so its a sensitive subject.

    1) Are there kangaroos in the streets of Australia?
    2) Have you ever wrestled a crocodile?

    Those questions came from the same person (obviously not Aussie), but come on! Thinking back now, I should have answered 'yes' to them. :D

    Here is mine: "Do you love me?" The most stupid thing I ever asked the woman I loved. She doesn't and I'm a loser!

    No. You were supposed to come up with thought-provoking questions, and that one fit the bill for sure. It might have been tactless, especially if there was anyone present with only one parent, but it wasn't stupid.

    My grandmother is notorious for this one...

    "You're at home?".

    She asks me this every time I answer my phone...my home phone.

    When the yankees up here find out I was born in Texas......

    Where's your hat/boots/beltbuckle/spurs/horse?
    Did you ride horses to school?
    Isn't everything bigger in Texas? (I'm 5'9'')

    Answer to the last one - Yeah we're bigger but I'm not unrolling if for you to see!
    :D

    I got almost the same when coming back from living 4 years in Cameroun:
    Do you have lions in the streets?(yeah!every morning got to fight one to go to work!)
    Do you have electricity over there?(yes,but got to pedal on a dynamo to get it)
    Do they serve cooked humans in restaurants?(that's how I got rid of my annoying sister!)

    And I got many more in store ...
