Stupid questions about anything

[Bubber]

The other silly question post got me to thinking sooooooo........

 

While my daughter was in Hawaii she worked on a boat and someone asked her if the water went all the way around the island.

 

Now how do you answer that???? Be nice!

Walk away slowly.....

Of course not. If the water continued to go all around the Island .......that would mean the island was in the middle of a whirlpool and therefore would have been sucked down into the oceans drain at the bottom a long time ago. .....Boy some people

No, the water is not allowed to travel due to government regulations! The ocean, however, is allowed around the island...

While working on the ferry I had a guy ask how high above sea level we were. He guessed 600 ft while his friend said only 300 ft. I looked out the window and told them it was about 50 ft.

When we were departing the mainland a woman came up to me and we had the following conversation.

Her..."How long is it?"

Me..."Isn't that a rather personal question?"

Her, turning red...."No, I meant how long does it take"

Me...."Well now that all depends"

Her...Turning even redder...."No, no, I meant how long does it take to get to the next island?"

Me ..."Oh well, that is only about 45 minutes"

 

A couple came up to me as we were leaving the mainland and asked how long it takes to get to Galiano island. I told them about 45 minutes. She asked why it took so long. I explained about time/speed/distance. She informed me it was not possible as it was only 1/4 inch on the map, holding up a gas station road map.

I have always had difficulty with being nice........

 

I would probably end up tung tied with so many possible smart ass comments all fighting for the fore front......

Thank you for asking that great question! There is an old saying that goes like this,, "the only stupid question is the one that does not get asked" and you have proven once again the importance of understanding old sayings..

When the designers of Hawaii were in the process of drawing its Blue Prints they made an important discovery... One of the issues back on the mainland was the limited supply of ocean front property.. Demand for this property was so high in fact that people were willing to pay 100,000 times more for it than any other land... The buyers of the ocean front property were also more than happy to pay 200,000 times more in taxes on their ocean front property..

Obviously, ocean front property was a catalyst for real happiness for people,,, something that the original designers of Hawaii wanted to make sure their final product produced..

One designer, a man by the name of B. S. Themall came up with the idea of designing the new property so that anyone and everyone that bought property on their newly developed living area had ocean front property,,,, therefore everyone would be happy... B. S. had noticed that back on the mainlands - ocean front property ran in a straightline,, the land behind the ocean front was being blocked by the land in front of it from being ocean front.. The thought occurred to B.S. that if this straight line were more circular,, maybe even shaped like a wheel,, that the water that was very important to ocean front property would naturally surround the land making it ALL ocean front..

MR. Themall knew his idea was a good one, he met with some investers.. B.S. told the investors that he also thought they, the investors would also be happy as they would notice a big increase in their bank accounts as it was common knowledge that happy ocean front land owners will gladly give them all their money..

Mr. Themall's suggestions and idea's were put into practice and the making of Hawaii became a reality, a land surrounded water, loaded with broke - happy people to this very day...

Dubai figured that out years ago, Puc. If'n you don't have any more ocean front property, just make some more.

Dubai man made islands:

While working for the airlines I would frequently have some guy say "I'll have your job." I would reply "You could not handle my job." When he asked why not I would tell him "Because I have to deal with too many As.....s and I don't think you could handle it." He would stand there trying to figure out if I had just called him an A.....e or not.

 

I would get guys telling me "I pay your wages."

I would say "So you are the cheapskate...it is about time I got a raise, just look at the people I have to deal with."
