If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Other quality quotes from Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert):

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant.
Scott Adams, Dogbert; Dilbert cartoons


The best part about being my age is in knowing how my life worked out. Sure, there's a lot more living to go, but there isn't much doubt that I'll always be the 'Dilbert guy.' Unless I go on a crime spree, in which case I'll be 'that stabbin' Dilbert guy.'

The saying that there are no stupid questions is just a smoke screen so that teachers can be indemnified for having stupid answers... -- Cat Herder, 2007

Other quotes attributed to Scott Adams:

There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot.

Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.

You can never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

There are no stupid questions, just ignorant questioners.

In my theatre arts class a couple semesters ago, we were learning about sound effects used in the theatre. The teacher was telling us about how they make the sound of thunder with sheet metal, obviously. The others were a little trickier, like a glass box, or even having recorded sounds, but as an add-on just to make sure she said it, "Oh, and of course thunder is made with sheet metal".

From the back of the class a scantily clad blond girl with enormous sunglasses raises her hand to ask: "Um, excuse me, but, like, what is sheet metal?"

The class burst into laughter, and so did the teacher, until she (the teacher) composed herself to say "Please stop laughing, I think that was a serious question. *composing herself* Sheet metal is just that...a sheet made of metal. You know, like a sheet of paper, but thicker and made out of metal". Then the look of almost understanding on the sorority girl's face was priceless.

I asked my 6th grade teacher something that he deemed to be a stupid question and got treated to a trip to the hall and a lecture on how I was never going to amount to anything other than a trash collector if I kept going as I was.

I have an office mate that that says this... "There are NO stupid questions..." ALL the time... It's a little irritating because quite frankly some of the questions ARE inanely repetitious... I can't wait to use this one on her:

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Whenever someone says there are no stupid questions, I always say that they haven't heard some of my questions.  I can come up with some doozies.
