    Silly questions

    I suppose this falls into the Ask a Silly Question, Get a Silly Answer category:

    The comedian, Bill Engvall, noted some silly questions that are typically asked--and some answers that have actually been given to them.

    They are worth repeating:

    Question (from a person staring at a three-point buck, atop an automobile): "You been deer hunting?"

    Answer: "No, a deer just jumped atop my car; and I decided to let it ride along, for as far as I am going."

    Question (to a person holding an umbrella, as it is raining very hard): "Are you trying to stay dry?"

    Answer: "No, I just thought that the umbrella makes me look particularly fashionable."

    Question (to someone along the side of the road, who obviously has a flat tire): "You got a flat tire?"

    Answer: "No, I just decided to inflate the other three."

    Question (from a State Trooper, who was directing it toward a person who had just run his car into a tree): "Did you wreck?"

    Answer: "No, I just thought it would be a good idea to run my car into a tree. (Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.)"

    Ah, the questions we actually ask...

    "got a flat?"

    "Nope, them other three just swelled right up on me."

    Love Engvall's "Here's your sign stories".

    There's a counter in the laundry room where all kinds of stuff accumulates. Things get put down there, usually intended just to be there temporarily, and never leave, dust settles, bottles of various kinds get spilled, etc. So I was in there one weekend and had cleared everything off the counter and was wiping it down with disinfectant, and my then 12-year-old son walks up and says, "Are you cleaning the counter?"

    I said, "Nope. Somebody broke in and stole all the stuff off the counter and now I'm dusting for prints."
