I work with a strange woman myself. She's about 50, but sometimes I think she has the brain of an elementary schooler. I think it's because she asks some of the most ridiculous questions. I know some people like to say that there's no such thing as a stupid question, but these come pretty close.

1) She always asks my boss if she can use the bathroom. Who the hell asks permission to take a piss at work? This happens on a daily basis. And when she asks, she doesn't just use my boss's first name, she says, " Excuse me, Mrs. Sarah, may I please use this rest room?" It's like she's a little girl asking her teacher if she can be excused from class to go to the bathroom.

2) I've heard her a few times ask my boss, "You still love me, don't you?" I don't really get this, who asks their boss that question?

3) And this is my favorite question. One day I'm enjoying a nice turkey sandwhich at lunch when I see her looking at me with this confused look on her face from accross the table. "Uh-oh," I think to myself. "I don't want to hear whatever it is she's going to ask me." Without hesitation she asks, "Is that green stuff on your sandwhich lettuce?" I nearly choke on my sandwhich when she asked me that. After I finish a small fit of laughing and coughing I reply, "Yes, the big green leaves on my sandwhich are infact lettuce." "Oh, I was just checking," she says back. THANK YOU FOR CHECKING, MAM! What else the those big green leaves could have been confused for, I don't know. Maybe she thought a nasty little elf switched the lettuce on my sandwhich with poison ivy when I wasn't looking. Sometimes I still think about this and snicker at my desk.
