Stupid questions

I was giving a presentation the other day and finished up by asking if there were any questions.  As happens every time, someone raised their hand and said “This is kind of a stupid question, but…..”  It always reminds me of the old adage “The only stupid question is the one that wasn’t asked.”  But I did find some contenders for “Stupidest Question of All-Time”.    The nominees are:

10-Why is Grape Nuts cereal called that, when it contains neither grapes, nor nuts?

 
 
 
9-If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

8-If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

7-If an orange is orange, why isn't a lime called a green or a lemon called a yellow?
 

6-If a cat always lands on its feet, and buttered bread always lands butter side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat?

5-What color would a smurf turn if you choked it?

4-If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest?

3-If laughter is the best medicine, who's the idiot who said they 'died laughing'?

2-If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why's it still #2?

 
 
 
 
 
1-If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?  (See #8 above--these categories are related)
