    Here's Your Sign

    How do you answer stupid questions? I usually tell people there are no stupid questions, only the unasked questions. I AM WRONG.

    Oh, you are going to Austria for vacation. Are you driving?

    Here's you sign.

    You wear a kilt. Do you play the banjo?

    Here's your sign.

    Any others?

    Although they are sort of humorous, the comments about New Mexico and West Virginia are sort of sad too. I could understand someone from another country not knowing the difference, but these were people from the States.

    What that is showing is that many in the US not only don't know about other countries, they don't even know about their own.

    I wonder if the state quarters will have any effect on this? Scooby is very into them, and I imagine many other kids are as well. It certainly can't hurt.

    In my father's schooldays (1919-1930), in the Monadnock Region of N.H., that was a very common & very justifiable question, especially by local teachers: if you were transported by wagon into town centers to attend school every day, you needed to "brown bag it", for your midday meal; if you lived close enough to walk to school from home, you were allowed to leave to walk back home to eat during the lunch break, and then return for afternoon lessons.

    We were hiring for a position at work. Several people had been interviewed that day. A fellow walks into the shop (Through the BACK door) that morning and is standing there, obviously waiting for something.

    "Can I help you?" I ask.

    "I'm here for my interview." He stated, flatly.

    "Oh, I see, then you need to go to the front door." I said.

    "You have a front door???".....

    .....
