Daily Splatter: Neverland
During a conference call today, a co-worker asked our Vice-President about a particular subject and he replied that she was asking the wrong question. While some questions may be more appropriate than others in any given situation, it seems to me that the inherent rightness or wrongness is an entirely subjective estimation.
This got me to thinking: Are there any truly "wrong questions"? That is to say, are there any questions that are always inappropriate, erroneous, or futile regardless of the situation? Being of a scientific mind, I decided to put this hypothesis to the test. Here are my first few attempts:
Pardon me, but are you pregnant, fat or just shoplifting meat products?
Who do you think is funnier - Jeff Foxworthy or Dave Barry?
It is possible that I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body?
If I cram a dozen Big Macs up my ass, will I develop a talent for juggling chainsaws?
When does your daughter turn eighteen? (OK, this one might be appropriate in certain situations, but never when it's coming out of my mouth.)
When do we expect the mothership to arrive?
Do you think that if I had my penis surgically removed, the strap-on harness would fit better?
Why don't you ever think of anyone but yourself?
Comments
But the harness DID fit better. It's a good thing I asked.
