No such thing as a stupid question? Guess again...
"Can I ask you a question?" asks a stranger."You just did," I reply brightly.
I don't mean to be a smarty-pants, but really. The only question stupider than "can I ask you a question?" is probably "can I ask you a stupid question?"What's a sillier -- or more ironic -- question than that?

Great bit, Lee!Don't ask: tell!
Linus Caldwell: Hey, can I ask you something? You ever notice that...
Rusty Ryan: If you're gonna ask if you can ask me a question, give me time to respond. Unless you're asking rhetorically, in which case the answer is obvious - yes.
Linus Caldwell: Okay, can I ask you...
Rusty Ryan: Yes.
