Dumb Question

Someone asked me today, "Have you always had a beard?"

"Oh, yes," I replied, "at least I think so. You'd really have to ask my mum."

So what's the dumbest question you've (been) asked?

'Are you Mr H in disguise?' Was probably it.

once we had someone from thr cable company over to check our line. he noticed my 2 kids and asked, "are they both yours?" what do you even say to a question like that?

I said," My daughter has 2 kids: 2 years old and 11 months".
She said, "You're kidding! When did THAT happen?"

"So when are you due?"








I wasn't pregnant...

On answering the phone - "Is that you?"

Mr Farty said...

Naga - Have you thought about starting a blog? That would dispel any confusion.

Jacki - Why is that a dumb question?

Marie - No, they're on loan!

Janet - LOL! And hello.

Debi - Oops.

Z - On answering a land line - "Where are you?"
That one really happened to Mrs F.

Ack! Forgot to add that people started asking that as soon as Emma was born. And people get surprised when I tell them I am happy with just one kid. Emma is more than enough for me. Some people just don't understand how I can be happy with just one kid. But I am.

Welsh Girl said...

Hmm, has to be the person who, when I said I lived in Wales, said 'Do you live underground then?' Huh?????

Mr Farty said...

Jacki - Ah....

Brom - Cool. I bet it's a doozy.

Goth - But how impressed are they when you go <clicky> "try it now" - and it works? Yay tech supp!

John - I fart in your general direction!

Daffers - Could have been Gaelic or Welsh.

Taffeta - Wales, Hobbiton, same thing innit?

Once, when my bloke ordered a black coffee in the Ferry Cafe, the girl behind the counter asked if he would like milk in it.

Mr Farty said...

Liz - That one takes the biscuit.
