in reply to On answering stupid questions

In the spirit that the question was posed I have to agree and think that this quotation by Charles Steinmetz is very apt in the circumstances and sums up my feelings on the matter

"There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions.”

but I had to chuckle at some of these dumb questions.

    In Atlanta, circa 1976, a lawyer told me of his client – up on drug and weapons charges. Being told that he'd been found 'Not Guilty' on the drug charges (but with the weapons charges still pending) he asked, in open court,
    Does that mean I can have my pot back now?
    Now tell me that there aren't any stupid questions.
