    Tonight, I was asked (by a stranger on an elevator) "dude, you know where I can get laid around here; like a hooker or somethin'?" What is the strangest thing you have ever been asked? Edit: I wrote "think" instead of "thing". :doh: *grumbles*

    A US sailor once asked me in Sydney where the nearest brothel was. I didn't know but pointed him towards our red light area, the guy practically sprinted away in the direction I gave him. Strangest question I can think of though was being asked if my twin sons were Siamese twins.

      :laugh: Reminds me of the old joke... a new working girl heads out for her first night on the job... she returns to the madam the next morning and the madam asks how much money she made. The working girl proclaims "$85.50". The madam asks who gave her the fifty cents, to which the working girl replied "All of them, of course!!"

        You do seem to attract strange folk, now do you? Nice to hear you didn't give in again to your flight instinct. Of course in an elevator that should have proven to to be nearly impossible. :doh: I forgot the escape hatch! :-D

              Once, during sex, the girl in question said "Stop, stop, stop". I paused and inquired what was wrong. She said "What's your name?" I told her. She said "OK, carry on".

              Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                        Strangest thing I was ever asked? I was on the road and in a bar in Alexandria, VA and a guy asked me if I liked older woman. I was in my early 40s and said sure but depends on the woman. He points to a 70 year old woman and says how about her? Not that old says I, you? He was my age and explained how appreciative they were, etc.. About an hour later they left together.

                          The strangest question I've ever been asked was, "OK, I get that it's uncomfortable, but which one is MORE uncomfortable - the hand in the front or the hand in the back?" - Sincerely, weirdo-in-the-department-store.

                                        Just curious. What was your answer?

                                          A US sailor once asked me in Sydney where the nearest brothel was. I didn't know but pointed him towards our red light area, the guy practically sprinted away in the direction I gave him. Strangest question I can think of though was being asked if my twin sons were Siamese twins.

                                          You should have answered, "No, they're American."
