Now, for something completely different...

What are some of the more "Off the Wall" questions have you asked or been asked?

To start...
"The lights on the flag pole... are they at the top or bottom of the pole?"
When I told this individual that they were around the base of the pole, she replied
"I guess they would be kind of hard to replace at the top..."

And no.. she is not blonde.

nvmd. i did it wrong. gimme a few mins.

'Would you have been late if you hadn't got there in time?"

:) :

Of course you gotta love this "gag" question... when someone is walking away from you, you call their name. When they stop to look at you or come back in your direction you ask em.. "How far would you have gotten if I didn't call you?"

I've gotten some pretty good off-the-wall math riddles emailed to me, but this one really takes the cake. Can anyone figure out how it works?

parents are usually solely responsible for most off the wall questions - normally when they
are telling their kids off, especially when asking accusing questions and then telling their kids not to answer back when they respond - the all time classic being:

'do you want a slap?'

what answer are they expecting?

'yes please - beat me within an inch of my life!'

etc etc

LOL ... Too true

I got this one ALOT!!!
"Wow you have twins!!!"
to which I answer: "Yes, I do, one girl, one boy"
Followed by the all-time classic:
"Wow are they identical twins?"
Yeah, they are identical they just happen to have DIFFERENT plumbing!!! WTF, are they identical???? If it wasn't that, and the brain surgeons figured out that they weren't identical, I got this::
"Oh you have maternal twins!!!"
They are FRATERNAL twins. not MATERNAL twins!!!

The other great one would be this:
I'd dress them in pink and blue since as babies they did look alike.
"Twins? How cute pink and blue. So lucky. Two boys!!! (or two girls, sometimes)"
Yes you heard right, pink and blue=2 boys!

could be worse - you could have triplets and tell everyone you have one of each.....

Jenn... how could you confuse those poor people like that? LOL

Hehe - the link of camerahound is cool, it took some time to figure it out.
So, all who want to think for themselves, stop reading!

Actually, it is rather simple. If one takes a number and subtracts the sum of the digits, the result is always a multiple of 9: Each number below 100 can be written as 10*x+y, where x and y are between 0 and 9. Now substract the sum of the digits, and you get 10*x+y - (x+y) = 9*x. Therefore, a multiple of 9.
If you take now a closer look at the sign table (take a screenshot, so you have more time for looking), you see that the signs for multiples of 9 are all the same, so it is no big deal to get the right sign...

Of course, another gut-busting question ya may hear, are the odvious questions...

*tap... tap* crack, *tap... tap* crack
*start peeling hard boiled egg*

from over your shoulder...
"Oh, you're peeling a hard boiled egg?"

O.o
ummm... yeah?
*doink*

I would just like to point out that identical twins could possibly be different gender (link). I thought i had heard it before and that site seems to back it up. Im too lazy to find a more reputable source in an academic journal or something, but what it says about strange circumstances makes sense if you ask me.

What about asking "who farted?" on a crowded elevator? Everybody should know it's gonna be the only guy smiling....

When my husband dropped me off at work and I kissed him goodbye, a nearby co-worker said, "So that's your husband?"... to which I responded, "No, why?" ;)

LOL @ Smoosh! I always hate it when I'm at work doing something that's absolutely drudgery or just complete rubbish only to have the company clown walk up and say "Are we having fun yet?" Fun begins when I'm punching out! Moron!! Or how about my daughter's bf watching me eat a nice dinner only to have him say "Are you gonna eat all that?" DUHHHHHH!!! It's on my plate, isn't it? What a pig!!...=P

When I come back from lunch w/wet hair and people ask me "oh, you went swimming?" no… the cartoon cloud followed me around and AMAZINGLY missed my clothes and only got my hair!

when I broke my leg and did a bunch of damage… my former boss: "wow… was it hard to do that?" YEAH… I had to really work @ it. DOH.

lol

a known-to-be-a-ditz girl trying to prepare a box of Annie's Shells & Cheese… yelling out the window into the backyard:

"Stephan… where do you keep your Annie's cheese?"

Is that your car? No...I'm stealing it.

Are you going to eat that? No...I'm going to stick it in my shorts and warm it up for you.

lol xD

I hate being asked by the one who controls the remote (male of course :) ) when I am sitting with eyes glued to the TV "Are you watching this?"

This may not fit the category.....but it is close enough..[and true]..how's this for a question:
you take a bite of your dinner....and see your mother in law eyeing you: and she pointedly askes: "How is your diet coming along, dear?"

lol xD

someone wincing, cringing, moaning or otherwise..only to be asked:

"does that hurt?"

no ya $#%@#$% i'm method acting!

*When you go to the Medical Centre, and ask to see a Doctor*
The receptionist will always say..."Why, whats wrong with you" Grrrrrrr!!!

*nudges bob* you copycat :P

LMAO @ Terri... gotta love mother-n-laws... emphasis on "mother"

Also.. you deserve a Klondike Bar if you managed to not leap across the table to throttle her for that comment. lol

Humpty Dumpty asking how he's gonna get down "off the wall" .. and I say ..

"oh, not to worry, mate, we got all these men and horses on loan from the king ... go ahead and jump"

well, these ARE 'off the wall' questions....yikes

What about a stranger who asks: "wow...are those your REAL boobs?!"

I'm guessing the answer to that one would be a black eye? hehe

Nobody has ever asked me that .. :o) .. let me gain a few more pounds

hahaha: both of you!
{ my answer is: don't squeeze the charmin.....}

In a heavily posted non smoking zone... Q"Is it all right if I smoke?" A "Why yes...the signs don't apply to illiterates!"
