Contrary to what your teachers told you, there are, indeed, stupid questions. I myself am guilty of saying this feel good phrase to my students, but I don’t believe it. There are stupid questions folks. Some of the stupid questions I get asked in my professional life include, “Is this graded?”, “Do we have to do this?”, “Can we have class outside?” and “I know it says 5 paragraphs, but can I write 1?”. However, the stupid question that is the focus of this particular post was not asked at work, but rather by someone I was chatting with online on a dating site. It was:
“Do you drive?”
No. I was raised in suburbia, now live in the middle of nowhere and literally work on the other side of the state…but I walk. Of course I drive you blathering numbskull. Just as a side note, I will not be wasting my time conversing with you anymore.
