Next time, give 'em a sales pitch and a business card. 8)
I don't mind stupid questions. Asking questions is one of the smartest things we can do.
I get annoyed when asked questions by people who have not thought the question through or who could figure out the answer with a bit of thought. I dislike lazy or voluntary stupidity. I call these people drones.
I'd rather make someone think than sell them a kilt. Most of these drones will not wear a kilt or think. Deciding to wear a kilt requires one to think in a new way. Drones don't think in new ways. Drones vote the way their parents voted. Drones stay in the same job their whole lives. Drones fear change.
Drones wear pants.

My, Bear, that's quite the rant you've got there. I wish it weren't true, but you seem to be spot on there. It seems like such a waste, doesn't it?
We've already got a list of 'what's under there?' replies, but none for 'are you scottish?', which I seem to get much more often.
I've yet to come up with anything witty, other than "I'm not, but I thought I'd give my balls a holiday." and I didn't even manage a proper delivery thereof.
Any good ones for those of us slower on the draw?

Let's see ... it's late and I'm tired. Best I can come up with at the moment is to roll your eyes and say, "Oy vay!" in your best Hebrew accent. Then walk away.

You are cruel Bear!! altho' that is one question I sometimes fail to give a good answer for.
I've been known to answer:
1.Isn't everyone?
2.Are you American? (to one wearing jeans)
3.I have Scottish heritage (a serious answer to those who deserve one).
