"do beavers lay eggs "

Dad, do you have your pocket knife on you?

"What's the dumbest question you've ever been asked?"

Knew a real pretty woman ( natural blonde)
She said look at those strange cows on that hill!
What so strange they’re just Angus?
But look how short their legs are!
Shut up! They are standing in tall grass.

Have you caught a deer yet, rather than have you killed a deer yet? Great aunt used to ask me that question all the time.

Driving down a highway in Texas, "Are those striped cows?" Rancher not only had cattle he had zebras.

"Does the river flow into the ocean, or away from it?"

Fishings dumbest, where did you catch it
IN THE MOUTH

Used to do a lot of buckskinning/living history demo's. The standard questions were:

Is the fire real?
Are the guns real?
Did you really sleep in that tent last night?

One lady was naive/ignorant/dumb enough to stick her hand in the flames to prove to us the fire was fake.......

I had two kids watch me for an hour as I made beef stew. They had never seen someone cut up vegetables before.

If the white cow gives white milk, do the brown ones give chocolate?

I left for work one morning and I left my phone on the kitchen counter and my wife saw it. She headed to work and got the bright idea to text me to remind me that I forgot my phone...

One trout season on opening day, my Dad and I were waiting for the 8AM start. Three other guys come down and ask us "DO you guys want to bet who catches the biggest fish, and who limits out first?" We said, "Suuuuuurrrrre" 20 mins later we were done walking out with 2 limits and the biggest fish,and a few extra dollars .

Another time a lady swore she had a badger that was digging along the foundation of her house and was sure it was going to dig through the wall. She showed me where she heard it scraping along the wall, I told her it would not be digging through her concrete wall, she asked "Are you sure?" (yes ma'am I am sure)

We go outside and take a look at the back yard, and as we do a big ole groundhog runs across the yard and into the hole. She starts yelling, "Did you see it? Did you see it? Me, "What the groundhog that jsut ran across the yard?" Her " No the badger", I saw a groundhog ma'am/ Her "Are you sure?"

Had a 2nd career couple buy a small dairy farm and enrolled in the farm management class. While I was there enrolling them we walked the herd of roughly 35-40 cows. I saw one was riding a standing cow and he stated I have seen that a few times what is that? I thought oh boy there will be a steep learning curve here. About 3 weeks later he called and stated his milking machines hardly work, all of them. I stopped and we checked pulsators, pump vacuum levels etc. All was good. I went into the milk house to check the machines more and lifted one of the covers with the inflations on and they felt really heavy. I found out they pulled the little air hoses off the liners when they washed them and the liners were full of water and thus the inflations would not collapse and draw milk out of the udder!. We got that figured out but soon after the first winter of frozen up manure spreaders, barn cleaner chains, drinking cups they sold and he went back to trucking on the road again.

Starting a small diary (unless they had a niche market already to go) as a 2nd career should have warned you right there. Sort of like the mid-70s people I know that have hundreds of thousands of "antique" things still marked at full price in their store and warehouses, and he still buys more! If people deny reality long enough, its no longer real, or so they think. I stopped going to that place, they are nuts!

After getting out of high school I worked for a contractor that cut trees down from under power lines and also trimmed them... I made foreman and had a guy working under me....he had been there several weeks ....then asked me when we would come back and cut the trees down on the other side of the road.

I get similar questions often, like "Does this kind of chicken lay the kind of eggs you can eat?", "Are the eggs brown all the way through?", "Can you eat brown eggs?", "Does this chicken lay edible eggs?", "What do the eggs from this type of chicken taste like?", "Can you cook their eggs or are they just for decoration?"
