If you've ever taken a Philosophy class, your teacher probably laid down one simple rule on the first day.

"There are no stupid questions"

While this may be true for Socrates 101, this is not the case in the real world. For us intellectual folks with cognitive function, there are a whole slew of stupid questions that need dodging on a daily basis. Anyone in the customer service industry fields silly questions for a living and expert intellects can cringe at the number of times they've corrected a half-wit comment.

So for those of us who find humor in the silliest questions, we've compiled a hilarious collection of goofy inquiries that left smart people completely dumbfounded. Sometimes, the only answer to a question like this is a quick palm to the face, a sign, and moving on to the next topic. For some, there's no explaining the logic. Keep on scrolling to get a chuckle at these stupid questions that'll make you feel like the smartest guy in the room.
