We shouldn't be too upset when someone asks a dumb question. They are, after all, trying to learn something and affording themselves the opportunity to be open minded. But sometimes when someone asks a question, they don't realize that they're revealing more about themselves than they might think. For example, a question like "why is the sky blue" is a totally reasonable thing to be curious about. But when a coworker looks up from his desk and asks you "why does the sky choose to be blue every day?" you are left with the impression that maybe this guy needs a little more than a simple explanation. He's gonna have to do some un-learning and reverse out of the idiot world he lives in before getting onto the right path.
Again, we shouldn't berate people for being curious and wanted to know things. We still do though, especially when the answer is right in front of them, and they're a grown up.
For some more exercises in mindless idiocy, here are some of the dumbest things people heard out of another person's mouth.
