You probably had a teacher or a parent who at one time told you that there’s no such thing as a stupid question. They told us this to encourage us to ask questions, with the idea being that if a child is afraid to ask a question, they will remain ignorant about various topics. In theory, that’s a good idea. I think it’s encouraged scores of people to speak up and express their curiosity. However, occasionally, it does happen that someone asks a stupid question. It’s not always because someone doesn’t know the answer to the question they’re asking. In many cases, someone may just be making conversation, or perhaps they’re wondering if an alternative answer to their question is out there. In the joke below, you’ll see the perfect example of what is a stupid question, but the man decided to get creative when he answered it. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
I have two dogs and I was buying a large bag of Purina at Costco and standing in line at the checkout.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV’s in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.
Horrified, she asked if I’d ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle’s butt and a car hit me.
I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.
