I like your dad already. "Your lips! They look like raw meat and I'd like to chew on them until I gag!"

On Jay Leno the other night three contestants were asked what the 3 states of water were- they all three said "Hawaii, Alaska, and Colorado"!

Was it a comedy sketch?

During Fall we're often asked "Where did all these leaves come from?"

As a landscape designer and foreman I've been asked almost everything.

Well Hawaii would be Steam(gas), Alaska would be Ice (solid) and i guess Colorado would be liquid, although I don't know what their weather is like

being in the Great White North as I am.

Why am I even trying to rationalize it.......

At dinner last night (in Bozeman, MT) a lady asked if I knew some guy from Lowell, Wyoming, because he played the pipes at a funeral she went to.

note, I speak of my biological father, not the man that raised me.

I work in the Public Safety field as a security officer patrolling low-income housing developments and as such am required to be armed. I've been doing this for close to 25 years now and have lost count of the number of times I've been asked if my gun is real or if it is loaded.

To the question of "Is your gun real?" I usually respond "Nope. It's a fashion accessory".

Quetion: "Is your gun loaded?"
Answer: "Nope. They make keep me only one bullet in my shirt pocket and only load it in the gun in an emergency."
Like Barney Fife of "The Andy Griffith Show" fame.

Here's your sign.

These questions mind you, are almost always from adults, not young children who really don't know about such things.

I honestly believe that most kids think things out before they speak. I just wish their parents did the same. Christmas eve, I wore my kilt to church. One of the youth came up and asked me straightforward questions about the kilt and jacket. I thanked him for asking the questions he had. Not 2 minutes later, a guy walks up to me and asks, "Is that Scotch"? Here's your sign!
