Last year while in Yellowstone there was a women complaining about the rangers, as while she was there the rangers had failed to bring the animals out where she could see them!

I used to work for a city swimming pool as a lifeguard once upon a time and we had a list of "interesting" questions that were asked at one point or another...
How deep is the 12 Foot?
How much is a 50 cent drink?
Do you drain the pool every night and fill it up again each morning (our pool was 50 yards long and 25 yards wide with over a million gallons of water in it)?
You get the idea...

Well don't tell Lucy (my wife)I told ya but we were traveling back from the east coast and were eating breakfast at a well known spot.We had ordered and were waiting for our food. She reads a little sing on the table that says " open 24 Hours"! Then she looks at me and asks " Is this place open all night?" You ever have one of those times where you get to laughing and can't quit? I don't know just why but we laughed and laughed. About the time we got it under control we would look at each other and start again.

That reminds me of the story about the fellow coming back to his hotel late at night. Before going to bed, he decided that he was hungry, and remembered a little convenience store just down the block that had a sign in its window saying, "Open 24 Hours."
He got dressed and walked to the store, just in time to find the owner locking the front door.
"What are you doing?" he asked, to which the owner replied, "I'm going home. We're closed."
The visitor said, "But your sign says you're open 24 hours." The owner replied, "Sure, but not in a row!"

My favorite Colorado tourist question was, "At what altitude do the deer turn into elk?"

Stupid questions get asked everywhere. At a rendezvous once I was cooking breakfast in front of our friends tent and one of the flat landers came up and aske "Is that real fire?" I asked her if she would like to stick her hand into it to find out? She passed.
I don't think the one about the ping pong balls is all that far off base. You know some math wizard had to have tried to figure it out at some point.

There is an old saying .... "There are no dumb questions".
There is another old saying... "There is always an exception to every rule"
Here is an example ...
( You have to be a "LOCAL" at a casino to appreciate this one )
Every year we get lots of tourist visiting a casino for the first time.. and about 90% of them play the slot machines.
Every slot machine has complete instructions on it... all you have to do is READ them...
But ... it never fails that at least one of these tourist will sit down at the machine next to me.... and they always ask the same question.
Tourist :... "How do I know if I win ?"
I used to take time and explain how it works,,, but after the first twenty years of doing that .. I finally started giving them this answer..
"If the bell rings, you won ... if it don't, you lost."
There is another old saying....
"If at first you don't succeed, read the danged instructions.."

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved.
The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.
