****THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD****

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:

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."

Are ferris wheels made of iron? (rhetorical...it should be FERROUS wheel ;) )
What do you call a male lady bug?
How come if you split the French word “beaucoup” in half you get the words for “beautiful overthrow of the government”?

There’s gotta be more, just can’t think of ‘em...

Why do they have Braille at drive-through banks?

On the cable TV show, "Dr. 90201", which is about Beverly Hills plastic surgeons, one doctor has Braille on the sign that reads "Operating Room". Go figure.

I think most of those are still pretty common.

And as a newlywed, I can state that “Tie the Knot” is WAY overused.

Picture of the Senate, if you imagine the left side as stronger than the right.
