Because today is a day that "gives you permission" to ask a stupid question(s) without fear of ridicule, why not take the opportunity today to ask all those burning questions you've always wanted to ask, but were afraid to ask because you didn't want any one to think you're stupid?
"Don't be afraid to ask the dumb question. Everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask."
... Sheryl Sandberg
