    Has a newbie ever asked you a question that you couldn't believe they didn't know the answer to? I mean, a question where the, "Hey, I'm a newbie" excuse, just doesn't work.

    Had a newbie actually ask me where the blinker fluid reservoir was. I'm pretty sure he was joking, but I sometimes gotta wonder.

    Where do you come up with all of these questions? Do you have a notepad next to your bed that you write these down in the middle of the night after a bad dream? :biggrin_2559:

    You won't need the hallucinogenics anymore in a few weeks.

    Eventually, "he" will talk to you too.

    A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants.
    He walks up to the bar, sits down, and orders a pint.
    As the bartender gets a good look at the pirate, he notices the wheel and asks,
    "Hey matey, do you realize you've got a steering wheel in your pants there?"

    Pirate says, "Arr... it's drivin' me nuts.":biggrin_25523:

    I asked many a "dumb" question in my day and have been asked many over the years. The one that really sticks out is the guy who asked me "Can I tie this back on with rope and still be legal" I look under the trl. and he is pointing to a brake chamber dragging on the ground.
