As Patriarch of this crew I am used to getting bombarded with dumb questions.  So many that I break them into categories.  The first category are dumb questions that aren't really questions. They are accusations, for example "Swim in Lake Michigan?  Are you crazy? How can swim in that sewer?".

The second category of dumb questions are dumb because the answers are unknowable.  For example "Will the Lake be warm tomorrow?" or "What's with Cap'n?".

But when it comes to REALLY dumb questions, questions are that are astounding in their obtuseness, breathtaking in their stupidity, I challenge you to beat the question that Cap'n asked me this morning at Solly's, "Patriarch are you having one Door County Cherry pancake or three?".  "Gee Cap'n, I need to watch my figure I think I'll have one pancake, a small one, hold the butter and syrup.  On second thought, I'll skip the pancakes and have something off Solly's World Famous Healthy Eating Menu, perhaps some freshly picked arugula. I just ran four miles and swam half a mile in 63 degree water, how could I possibly be hungry enough to eat three whole pancakes?"
