Really dumb questions some customers have asked...

To build on ToYMan's post: A colleague of my husband's was at a conference of city managers from all over the US; the location was a resort hotel in the Catskills, a place with strong Jewish culinary traditions. At breakfast one morning, he was sitting next to the very young wife of a manager from somewhere in the hinterland. She watched as he piled lox on his bagel, and then asked him, "What's that orange meat you're putting on your donut?"

"What's in the honey?"

Customer: "Can I park outside?"

Far and away, my favorite.

Once, while reviewing some food photos we had produced for a magazine, the art director turned to me and said "Are you sure those are pork chops? They look like flank steaks!"

What? Like I would get mixed up about the difference between cuts of beef and pork?

"Sure", I had to explain, "see the nice curved rib bone with the round eye of meat attached? See the pinkish white meat?"

Customers coming in the front and being asked if they would like a table outside. The usual reply is " Well, is it nice out there?"
Well, you tell me twit, you just walked in
