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?

    It suits you Sir.

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

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

    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.

    "You can fix it though?" - generally uttered after someone has done something they know is very, very wrong

    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.
