Questions That Should Never Be Asked

I love lists. I especially love lists that can be both amusing and have practical life applications. Here's one for you. Read, enjoy, and learn.

1. "How many calories are in this [delicious food]?
2. "You're going to the doctor? What for?"
3. "What does he/she have that I don't?"
4. (to the angry student speaking Spanish) "What does that mean?"
5. "What a cute baby! What is his name?"
6. "What were you in prison for?"
7. "Why do dragonflies fly double?" (I learned that the hard way, in seventh grade science)
8. (for Stephen) "How much did you pay for that?"
9. "You had saved that file, right?"
10. (in Mexico) "What do you mean, this is "like" beef?" (for Abbey)

(This of course, leaves you to assume the obvious ones: "How much to you weigh?" "Are you pregnant?" etc.)

Now for the fun part: This is the first ever Lindsey's Blog Contest. Add your own questions to this list. The person who comes up with the question that makes me laugh the hardest wins a prize!

5. (hubby's input) Does this make me look fat?
