Right I’m bored which is never good. Whilst have a chat yesterday with someone new, I was asked a really stupid question. So I thought I would start this thread.
What is the most stupid question you have every been asked, witnessed or watched via media.
The only rule is it has to be from an adult not a child!

entertain me people!
 
I'm walking through Salisbury at night when approached by an American tourist who politely asked me the way to the Cathedral. Salisbury cathedral has a spire 404 feet (or 123 metres) high which was floodlit and clearly visible over the roofs of nearby houses. It looked like a medieval Saturn V rocket from where the tourist and I were standing. "Over there" says I, almost lost for words.
 
In New York years ago and me and the family went on the ferry to have a butchers at The Statue of Liberty.

I’m chatting away to my lad when a well heeled American woman, who was sat next to us, asked where I was from because she’d never heard an accent like mine before.

I told her was from England, to which she replied’ ‘ Oh really, and what language do you speak?’

I **** you not.

Years ago a friend complemented a guy we met skiing on his command of English. Asked him where he was from. Durban South Africa was the reply. Rightio she said which African country…Cringe

A few seasons ago, literally outside the turnstiles at Glanford Park, a City fan cheekily asked the Scunny car park steward "excuse me mate, where's the ground?", to which every City fan in the vicinity pissed themselves laughing. Said steward then went into an almighty rage "at least we own it, it's not a council pitch like yours etc..."

May have seemed a stupid question.... but 100% got the response it was after !!
