Reminds me of a job interview I was giving. The prospective employee was sitting there and stated. “May I axe you a question?” I said. “You use an axe to chop wood.” The interview was over.

Actually "ax" is Chaucerian Middle English (Black English comes from the British Isles, not Africa). We po' buckruhs say "ast."
