Dumbest question you've ever heard - Page 2

I have two - both are true and actually happened.

My wife and I were camping with some other couples a few years ago. We were sitting around the fire drinking, and going over all the things we could do the next day. Canoe rental was one of the topics - one of the wives asks; 'How long is a 17 foot canoe?'. This was about 8 years ago and she has still not lived it down.

The other one happened when I used to travel for work. I was asked by the check in agent if anything had been placed in my bag without my knowledge. I told her that if it happened without my knowledge then I wouldn't know about it. She got the last laugh, though - I had to go visit the heavily armed security screeners (Heathrow, prior to 911) and show them everything I was travelling with. I've had the question a couple of time since then, and I now just answer 'I don't think so', and that seems to be good enough.

I love the 'are you asleep' one!

A few years ago a bunch of us flew up to New York to watch the US Open. One of the guys who struggles with a fear of flying was along on his first trip outside of the Caribbean. After a night on the town courtesy of some local friends, we weren't quite ready to call it a night yet and ended up at a really strange looking after hours bar/nightclub.
Our friend Tony, who is an ardent skirt chaser when he isn't freaking out on a plane, soon found an attractive "lady" (that's for another story, lol!) and began making his move. In no time he had lifted her up and seated her on the bar and asked her what she wanted to drink. She squeaked "sex on the beach". Tony did a double take and said "hold on I'll be right back!" He rushed over to Trevor, one of the guys who was living in New York at the time, and frantically asked him "Where's the beach around here?"

A friend of mine built, owns and operates a 5-screen drive-in movie theatre in Ennis, Texas. I handle their I.T. needs including their computers and website - Galaxy Drive-In Theatre. I also catch and respond to all the customer emails. I've seen all kinds of emails come in, some are unbelievable. It's frightening to think some of these people are operating motor vehicles on public roads. Here is the latest from a "Twilight" fan:

What time do we need to be there to See the Midnight showing?

Back when I was running dirt track , I stopped in Rock Hill , SC for gas before I got to the track . As I was filling the tow car up , a lady came over to me and asked me if I liked racing ..... while I was pumping gas into my tow car with a trailer , race car and tire rack with tires attached . Just looked at her as I thought she was being sarcastic or ?????
