We've all probably had a brain fart or two in our lives. A momentary lapse where we said something that made us think later: "Wait, that was really dumb..." In the moment, these utterances can feel like the most awkward thing that has ever happened to you. Later, you can probably laugh about it with friends in good humor.

But are all dumb things we say brain farts? Maybe sometimes people really are so oblivious and ignorant that the funniest things come out of their mouths. In this Quora thread, when one person asked, "What are some dumb questions you have been asked?", folks shared the silliest things they ever heard people say.

Do you have any embarrassing brain farts you can share with us, Pandas? If so, let us know in the comments. And don't forget to upvote your favorite dumb entries below!

45 Times Dumb Folks Pushed People To Their Limit With Their Questions Once, at my shop, I stood with my register open, counting a fistful of 50-dollar notes in my hand, when a woman came up and asked me if I worked there. I looked at her, then at the money, then at the open cash drawer, and said, 'Nah, mate. I'm just robbing the till.'

45 Times Dumb Folks Pushed People To Their Limit With Their Questions A true story from a forgotten backwater of Donegal:

"Hey, Graeme, are you coming to church on Sunday?"
"No, I'm an atheist."
"It's ok. Being a Protestant doesn't matter. We're very welcoming."
"I'm not a Protestant, I'm an atheist."
"Are you Jewish?"
"No, I'm not Jewish, I'm an atheist."
"What do you mean?"
"An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in gods."
"No it isn't."
"It kinda is."
"No you're wrong there, you can be an atheist and believe in God."

Me: stunned silence.

There is only one computer in Jakarta that receives all indonesian emails. Then they print the text and send the message with a local animal depending of the emergency or the content. Could be a leopard, a komodo dragon or an elephant.

I would presume that when a person asks that question, they're really asking "What time does the 6pm parade pass this particular spot where we are currently standing?" After all, it doesn't just magically appear along the entire parade route when the clock strikes 6.

45 Times Dumb Folks Pushed People To Their Limit With Their Questions I got onto an elevator on the fifth floor, which already had people who had boarded on the sixth floor. I pressed the button for the third floor and observed that the button for the second floor was also pressed. As soon as the third floor came and I started to get out, a girl piped up, 'Why, that's so unfair. I got into the elevator before her! Shouldn't I be dropped off first?'

45 Times Dumb Folks Pushed People To Their Limit With Their Questions As an Australian traveling overseas, I've been asked: 'Do you carry a stick everywhere you go to fight off the snakes?' 'Oh, you're from Australia? Do you know my niece in New Zealand?' and 'How many miles is it from where you live to Sydney? No, not miles, liters. How many liters is it?'
And when someone I met in a foreign country found out I was Australian, she said, 'Why don't you sound like Hulk Hogan?' I didn't know how to react to this because I had no idea why she would think I would sound like The Hulkster. I was wracking my brain trying to work out what had connected me to the former World Heavyweight champion. Finally, I said, 'Why do you think I should sound like Hulk Hogan?' She said, 'Because he's such a famous Aussie.' We then had a brief argument about the nationality of Hulk Hogan. You may have already made the connection, but it took me ages to realize she was talking about Paul Hogan, aka Crocodile Dundee

There's a nice interview with Paul Hogan where he says that he can't go to a restaurant without the chef coming out from back brandishing his biggest cleaver and saying "That's not a knife!" When the interviewer asks Hogan if he ever gets sick of it, he replies, "Well, it might be the thousandth time I've heard it, but it's the first chance he's had to say it to me". Which is a rather lovely way of looking at it.

Being a Brit, while working in a Theme park in Ohio one summer:

Asked genuinely...

- Do you have traffic lights?
- Where in the London is the eiffel tower?
- My aunt is called XXXX XXXXX, Do you know her?
- Do we celebrate Christmas.
- Is England near Europe?
- Is it true that doctors decide if you live or die?
- Do you have McDonalds ( I then said yes, and they looked wonderfully relieved)
- Do you have Freeways?


Was never sure if these were jokes, but to be honest I don't think they were.

- Do you have electricity?
- Do you know the Queen?

I once knew a girl from college. We used to travel together by the local trains. Once she wanted me to send her one of the songs that i had on my phone using blue-tooth. We tried but her phone was showing some kind of problem with the settings. We gave up when my stop/station arrived and I left. Later in the night, I got a text message saying "hey send the song now ...my blue-tooth is working.".!!!
I had a good laugh that night !!
The worse part is.. we are engineers!!
