Had a family member once ask me if Cuba was north of Canada.

Worst questions I have ever been asked that I can think of off the top of my head was my ex gf our senior year in HS. She asked me, on two separate occasions who won the revolutionary war and then who won the civil war. First time I was dumb founded because she was in fricking AP US History but I answered. Second time I was a dick and told her the South won and that's why we have two separate nations today.

Dumbest question I remember asking off the top of my head was when I was younger and went quail hunting with my dad. We were back by the truck after hunting that day and about to head back to the lodge when the guide makes some crack about "Henways" and I fell right into it when I asked "What's a henway?" He naturally responds "about a pound" and I was dumb founded and it took forever for my dense arse to get it.

Great question and use of grammar!

I was on ambulance and asked a paraplegic who we just took off wheelchair and put on stretcher if he can feel me touching his feet. He said no, then I moved hands up and said what about now. Right then I wanted to shoot myself. He had just been riding in a van that was involved in a wreck is why we were transporting him.

Asked an OT 10 to prom. She said no in front of a ton of people. So humiliating

Didn't ask this obviously, but I saw a tourist on the USS Kidd one time ask the tour guy on board "Is that Mississippi?" while pointing across the river to Port Allen.

I was tipsy one night and my roommate offered me blueberries. I asked him if they were actually a berry, and if he was serious. I thought that they were just a flavor, like snozberries. Six years later, I still catch flack for this.

West Monroe High School, 1970ish, taking american history from shuttle pilot Jim Halsell's mom. one day, she's continuously talking about "John J." from way in the back of the class, I asked "why didn't he use his whole name? and, what does the J stand for."

I remember when I was really young an episode of Family Feud was on, and a guy gave an answer of condoms to something. Of course, I asked my mom what condoms were. She gave a very awkward, "Uh, I don't know."

Clip is even on youtube - LINK

Whoa.

I like the Beatles, but this is a terrible way to judge the quality of a music group.

This is a dumb question. Look on the Off-topic Board.
