I have heard it said that the biggest fool can ask more questions than the wisest man can answer. I have also heard the expression, “The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.” I'm not so sure I completely agree with that last sentiment. I have heard questions in my life that when even a small amount of thought is given to them, the inquisitor would possibly have realized the question would have probably been better off not asked. I was once asked how to spell “G. I. Joe.”
There are questions though, that do make me ponder. Some make me say, “hmmmm.” Others just make me shake my head. Like, have you ever wondered why lottery winners are never psychics?
