Hi Nina - Great questions, many of which I wouldn't categorize as stupid. And word must not be out around here - I haven't had a stupid question yet today.

I had no idea, and now there is no one around to ask a stupid question of, and I'm NOT doing it here. Love that list - good for a chuckle!

We probably need this for more than one day!

As you point out, it's said no question is too stupid to ask, Nina Hollander.  As an LO with over 40+ years of experience, I can state emphatically with complete confidence ... (sadly) that's simply not true.

Gene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi ~ hi Gene... I've run into a few idiotic questions in my time, as well. The main thing is to handle oneself in such a way as to make sure our clients are not afraid to ask.

Definitely true, Nina Hollander ... very good point ...

I always remember the ESPN commerical when they had their "ESPN University" ads where Chris Berman answers a student with, "there are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking questions".

~ Why does Donald Duck wear a towel when he comes out of the shower, when he doesn't usually wear any pants?

~ If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

~ Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on?

~ Why does mineral water that has "trickled through mountains for centuries" go out of date next year?

~ If the professor on Giligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

~ Why do they call it "getting your dog fixed" if afterwards it doesn't work anymore?
