This is a wonderful item Gerard. You could make a whole site from the concept. BTW there's a typo
in WWJD.

Some that are always asked to me:

Are you blind?

Are you going to finish this any time soon?

And my favorite:

"Why can't you be more like your cousin? He gets straight A's in school."

(that was the only thing about him that was straight...)

"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?"
"That depends on how safe the bungee rig looks."

Doug,

As a teacher for many years, a day did not go by that some student would say, "Mrs. Byrd, can I ask you a question?" My response was automatic: "You just did." And I'd move right along.

But this is one I hate, and it seems to be de riguer these days of know-it-all pundits:

"Having said that..." Then they go on to counter everything they just said. Oh, shut up.

Why is it ok to pick your friends, and ok to pick your nose, but not ok to pick your friend's nose?
