I don't remember asking that particular question, but I do remember asking "If everyone on the planet dropped all their silverware on the floor at the same time, could you hear in on the moon?"

Seriously drove him nuts.
I definitely asked one too many of those questions, one day. I think we were passing through Oklahoma and I asked him why the dirt was red.

"Because GOD made it that way!!!"

The car became very quiet after that...
