The comments on the car styling thread about whether or not there were stupid questions got me thinking about RSQs which have been asked of me.
Example: A few years ago, at the Tidal Power plant, where I work as a Heritage Interpreter, I had a lady ask me why there was a sign with "Danger" and a depiction of a person caught in an undertow on a float in the inlet waters of the plant.
I had answered that question a few times previously that afternoon and answered, "There is a species in the area which doesn't understand that heavy equipment and powerful currents can be dangerous."
She thought about that for a few moments then asked, "Bears?"
I answered, "Perhaps where you come from, the bears can read, but our Nova Sccotia bears are quite illiterate."
At that point, someone elbowed her and whispered, "People!"
Right up there with my SIL's question regarding the view from the top of the mountain, "How do you know when you get to the top?"
I'm sure there are more.
