Those in the tourist industry have told me, on more than one occasion, that the silliest question they’re asked by people from away is: “At what age does a deer turn into a moose?”
Of course, the answer is seven.
Other silly questions:
In October the woman arranges with Dennis that he’ll be plowing her driveway. She asks: “When do you start plowing?”
Dennis says, “When it snows.”
At town meeting (this is one of my favorites), the moderator tests the microphone: “Can you hear me in the back?”
“No!”
Moderator says: “Count your blessings.”
