The weirdest question you heard in your life?

[Headsprouter]

"Can I feel your hair?"

That was so weird of a question. Hell, I don't even have curly hair or any kind of hair that would warrant the need to "feel it". Just short, brown hair.

I have been asked this question numerous times, I possess high-quality shoulder length red hair.

And I'm a man, so people are trying to take the piss out of me (it's mostly total strangers in my school).

Hah! Best question I was ever asked was from a co-worker, when I worked at A&W years ago (the fact that it was while working in fast food seems relevant to me).

She asked: "Why doesn't the fire fall off the sun?"

After a few seconds of speechlessness I attempted to give her the proper answer (it's plasma not fire, gravity etc.)

I fear it went over her head...

Hmm.. the weirdest question.
I think the weirdest one I can think of was about a year ago in my Anthropology class.
There was this girl who sat next to me and we usually gabbed a bit before class started.

Now, she was already a bit.. random, but still.
One day, she walks in and sits down next to me like normal.
I say, "Hello~"
She immediately asks, "If you were a man, would you wear boxers or briefs?"
I just tilted my head at her, like.. Did I hear that right?
Then she continues on, "I think I would wear boxers. I would think briefs would be too confining."

I was just.. sort of uncomfortable. Uncomfortable and speechless.

For what it's worth she's right! (at least in my opinion).

"Does anyone else here ever feel like a unicorn in a man's body?"

"Can I feel your hair?"

That was so weird of a question. Hell, I don't even have curly hair or any kind of hair that would warrant the need to "feel it". Just short, brown hair.

I get this all the time, usually from complete strangers.

I was literally just asked 'Why do you think people are so angry?'

I slammed the door in there face.

"How good is the ending to Mass Effect 3?"
How good is a chainsaw revved up your ass... being held by yourself.

Wow its really that bad of a game?

OT:In college one of my particularly unexperienced female friends had engaged in heavy petting for the first time and the next day said:
"I think I found my clit, its between your pussy and you butt right?"
She was so excited to have figured this out that it was hard as hell to explain why I could not stop laughing.

Heard from a girl in my graphical-art class: "Do rabbits lay eggs?"

 

[MorganL4]

Okay, so I was in my third year spanish class right....... and the guy sitting next to me says:
Como se dice "how" en espanol? which translates directly to: How do you say "how" in Spanish?

Dad once told me of the time he told someone in America that he was from England. The reply he got from a random stranger was "Ah, England! Is that near Belgium?"

Well, when my aunt and uncle came to visit from England they were asked by a random couple what part? their response: Oxford. the woman from the couples reply: OH! Do you know Steve and Jane?

no seriously......that happened...

"Are you left-handed?"
I was writing with my right hand. I assume it was because she was infront of me, so her left was my right, but still.
Also "why do you die if your heart stops?" in psychology class. The teacher assigned that question as "extra credit" in the test a week after.[footnote]"Extra credit" as in it didn't count towards our score.[/footnote]

School. Fun times. ^.^

While I was in my Geography class:
"How do you pronounce that country's name because I always say it offensively?" I'll leave you to work out which country.

Just after some one asked "Where is Africa?"

I think both were serious questions.

 

[Yopaz]

From Yahoo answers:
Can you get pregnant from kissing a penguin?
Now I can't vouch for this being a serious question, but seriously. What. The. Flying. FUCK?! It's a question that shows utter ignorance in every biological subject I can think of.

 

[Blaster391]

I thought of another one:
"What is more expensive .com or .co.uk?"

I facedesked.

"Are you two boyfriends?"
- Random drunk guy on the street while I was walking with a mate

As for dumb questions:
"What's a trombone?"
- Several people after being told I play the trombone.

I mean... Come on. How do you not know what a trombone is?

You know what? I'm going to go make a poll right now, just to see if that's normal.

At a party someone once tried "If you were a pizza topping, what would it be?" as an opening line. After me just staring blankly at him for a few seconds, his follow-up question was "What's your favourite dinosaur?" which, let me tell you, worked a lot better as a pickup line than pizza toppings.

I was having my taxes done at H&R block last month, and I'm sitting in the office with the woman doing my taxes and she asks:

"Are you currently physically in a combat zone?"

I looked around the very nice office.

"No."

What I wanted to say was; "I don't think so, but then again, I've never been in a combat zone, so I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question.".

I was once asked around 2005:

When I worked in a jail for a while one of the inmates walked up to me looked around and asked inmate: "is um is um murder a felony if the dead person is under 1 year old?"
me: "Murder is a capital offense no matter the victims age"
inmate: "well that's not how it was in Florida... what's capital mean?"
me: "It means you can get either life in prison or executed"
inmate: "i better call my lawyer I don't think murder is a felony"

Also in high school a cheerleader (of course):

"If all the people in Somalia are starving why don't we just move them somewhere else?"

From what I've read, dumb questions are ok.

A girl in class asked this: If someone strangles you, can't you just breathe through your nose?
