"Well, I need access to your account codes and bank records."
Ok ok ok, I was just asked some of the stupidest questions in my life. Just now. I was walking out of a jewelry store in downtown Birmingham, and this guy about my age, maybe a tad older walks up...
"Is that a pot dispensary?" pointing towards the jewelry store.
"Uhhh," I turn to look at the big sign that says Jewelry, "no, that's a jewelry store. Pot is illegal in Alabama."
"Oh, is it legal in Atlanta?"
"I have no idea. I don't keep up with things like that."
"How far away is it?"
"where? Atlanta?"
"No, Alabama?"
"Ha, I'm afraid I don't understand, sir. You are in the middle of Alabama."
"Oh, I thought you just said that pot was legal in Alabama."
"Hey, I suggest you go right in there," pointing down to the small police office across the road, "and, sleep this off."
"They got pot in there?"
"Yes, sir. But, you have to ask clearly."
I tipped my hat and walked on towards my truck.

Do you have a minute?
The correct answer (which I never say): "If I say no, will you go away?"

So did he get his pot or not?
I didn't stick around to see if he went inside the police station, but I will wager that, regardless, he did not find pot here. Ha ha.
I figured with this thread and all, that I’d ask the stupid question.
Obviously, despite what people think, I do answer or at least respond to stupid questions. Ha ha.
Dead cover band playing somewhere near you??
Probably, I suspect that deadheads are the ones who get so high that they aren't quite sure what state they're in, more often than your run of the mill pot smoker.
“Questions you hate.” ….. That one…..that one right there…..?
I hate:
"what are your plans this evening?" Uh...I'm gonna sit until I get tired, then I'm gonna go lie down. It's Tuesday who the hell makes plans on a Tuesday?
"Bet you can't WAIT for summer, huh?" I'm a farmer. I despise the summer. It's hot as hell and the only people who enjoy it are people who work in A/C all day.
And chief among them:
"Do you know any Journey?" when I'm playing a gig. I play in a hillbilly band. I play slide guitar and banjo. Does it sound like I know any Journey? I get asked this frequently.

Can I talk to you about your cars extended warranty?
