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."

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

I save the really weird stories for my closest friends (I've got some doozies).

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.

Sounds like he was interested in finding another dude to join him and his mom the older lady. :~

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.

Hopefully idle chatter about the best spooning position (with some third party). :~

Well, sort of - there were spoons around, I think, but there certainly wasn't anything idle about him!
