    What are some funny things you have been asked? At the store, at a traffic stop, mall where ever?

    At 16 or 17 I was asked by a LEO if I had any nuclear devices in my car. I said not anymore I just generated 1.21 jiggawatts and came back from 1955. I actually got a warning.

    my roommate last year would sleep-talk frequently.

    so the funniness of his question is only in context. he spouted complete gibberish for about two minutes in a futile attempt to convince me that he was awake rather than asleep, ranging from killing forest gnomes to paying taxes. then he asked me if he finally believed he was fully awake.

    Are you Santa Claus?
    Are you Jerry Garcia?
    Are you Kenny Rogers?
    Are you a pimp?
    Are you in the Mafia?
    Are you part of ZZ Top?
    Are you a security guard here?
    Are you somebody famous?
    Aren't you part of the ship's staff?

    And these are just a few of the things I've been asked.

    My hair has been white since I was 25 when my daughter was 3 the waitress asked her if she was out with grandpa that night needless to say the tip wasnt very big. One other time the checkout girl at Kmart asked me if I was Bobby Knight :dunno:

    One night after the bar I was at WalMart with a half black/half white friend(looks Middle Eastern) and 2 Mexican friends. I had an 8" long red beard and a shaved head. The woman at the register asked me if I was in the KKK. The 6'10 450 pound Mexican friend just started laughing uncontrollably and then she realized how dumb the question was.

    You HAVE to post pictures of yourself. I got a good laugh out of that.

    not really funny but i have a stoplight at the end of my driveway. many people have and im sure many more will ask if it is real.

    another not so funny one is when someone asks you what you do for a living and you tell them you drive a school bus. then they ask "you drive a bus?"
    sure im 27, went to college, but did i studda when i said i drive a bus?
    (if it wasnt for poor timing on my part to back a truck into a ditch for Lowe's i wouldnt be on the bus. at first it was to get the cdl...)

    When at a restaurant, at lunch, with a co-worker. We were asked " are you together?" I replied, "No, we're seeing other people." Really threw 'em off.

    Because of my job, I get this question a lot. Even when I have the machine in a hundred pieces spread out all over the place, someone will invariably come up and ask "Can I make a copy?"

    Would've been even more awesome if you had a piece of paper with "I'm Stupid" written on it and handed it to them. "Here's your sign" :laugh:

    Don't wear red in Target. It makes for a very frustrating shopping trip.

    How about that time several years ago we were at a bar and when we got carded she asked if we were twins :laugh: Our birthdays are 4 days apart ( mom sure would have hated you! ha) and we have different last names.

    already happened. haha I work at an Ace Hardware so i wear a red shirt. stopped at Target after work one day and it happened. but i had a tape measure on my belt and i untucked my shirt so i hoped that would help. thankfully the guy thought enough before he asked. he was smart enough to say, "you don't work here do you?" i laughed and politely said no.

    but hmmm lets see... my red Ace shirt has gotten me flagged at Walmart (they wear blue shirts there :facepalm:), Petco (they also wear blue shirts as well as tan shirts there :facepalm:) but somehow never in Meijer where they wear red shirts :dunno:

    people don't observe very well...
