Crazy Question Week?

Is it just me or are the Crazy questions picking up.

I know coming off my meds for the summer is sometimes a challenge but it seems like the crackpots are out in full force.

How much to paint a uranium plant on uranus, with an illegal crew with no bond or insurance and my mom is helping this week?

Yeah, and how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Or, I am starting a construction company because my favorite TV show is "This Old House", how do I find guys to work for me and what do I pay them and how much do I charge for all that. Please hurry to answer because I am bidding a whole house remodel of 12000 SF.

Hello my friend, I am Dr. Mugubutt Wideassload I wish to secure your services. Please accept 4 million dollars earnest money, send me $10,000 to bribe the postal authorities so I can send you the money.

Its right up there with the Brotha that asked me "Let me owe you a dime"?, so I said "OK, you owe me a dime". And he said "That ain't what I'm talkin about you jive azz honkey MF".
Welcome to America! Land of opportunity.

And yes, we are getting a lot of new folks asking questions that the experienced guys would not ask.

Will you take a third-party, post-dated, out-of-state check?

Depends, how thick will the paint be?

Good Luck

My 4 year old made up a song that I think will shed some light on the subject....

"This town is not safe for me.... It is safe for you...

Because you are a (ninja)... And they are powerful....

And orangutan-ish....cuz orangutans swing in trees."

Maybe it's cabin fever? Or the "global warming" that left 6" of heavy as wet concrete snow in my area this morning.

Wow. I was just saying this last week.

For me it's been a ton of poor people picking the most expensive goods, and asking a billion questions on something they will not buy.
Absolutely amazing.
They swear it's in their budget but won't place the order.

Whatever....

I just chalk it up to a loss.....you get some...you lose some....
