I used to do mounted civil war reenacting. After the battles the public would tour the camps. A few would look at our gray and butternut uniforms and ask "what side are you on?" After a few times, we started telling them "the American side." They always seemed satisfied with that answer.

I too always have people call and when i say there is no vacancy they will ask for a list of number for local cabins, motels, hotels, resorts etc. I tell them they will have to google the info.Unless its the motel across the street and then I will give them number.

I work in the boat business. When people walk into my shop, they have to walk past rows of boats to get where i am. Then they ask, "Do you sell boats here?" Or somtimes Ill get a phone call where the caller askes the same thing. Ill think of some more later.

The question is 'are the backs of the knees lickable?'
Had a gorl at McDonald's a few years ago ask me- after I had ordered cheeseburgers- "Do you want cheese on those cheeseburgers?"

I have a truck load of these type questions, but I'll just restrict myself to one....
I had lost my wallet a few months before, and received a call from a local grocery store letting me know it had been turned in to their customer service desk. When I got there, I explained why I was there to the girl behind the counter. She asked me to describe the wallet, which I did. She pulled it out of a drawer, opened it. My drivers license was in the window right in front of her eyes. As she looked right at my license she asks me , " Do you have any I.D. on you?" I laughed, framed my face with my hands and told her to look at the picture! Her supervisor was right there, took over from there. I really thought it was funnier than just stupid, and tried to tell the boss I appreciated her at least trying to do the right thing by checking to see if I was who I claimed to be.
