Ask A Stupid Question Day
Today is Ask a Stupid Question Day. It's your opportunity to speak up, and to ask all those questions you were afraid to ask. All those questions that you thought were too stupid or dumb to ask, have been piling up all year long. Today is the day to unload them. C'mon give it a try. Nobody will laugh......we hope.
This may be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway...... Teachers and Employers say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Or, that no question is too stupid to ask. If this is true, then why do your classmates or co-workers laugh when you ask a question? Yes, people can be cruel. But, if you have a question, there's no better place to ask, than in the classroom or from your supervisor.
Today's Quote: "Stupid is as stupid does". Forrest Gump
Movie of the Day: "Dumb and Dumber"
Other "Stupid" stuff:
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
This might sound stupid, but......
Do you think I'm stupid enough to fall for that (duh!) ?
Seen on a T-shirt "I'm with Stupid". Well, if that's true, how smart are you?
According to holidayinsights.com, "the roots of this special day goes back to the 1980's. At the time, there was a movement by teachers to try to get kids to ask more questions in the classroom."
