    That's like asking me to "Find the variable for the variable and solve for x." That was a question in my textbook.

    Just thinking about the stupidity of that question almost gives me a seizure.

    I'd love to scoff at whoever missed that but sadly that looks like some of my papers written at 0600. Nonetheless, funny!

    Could you answer by asking,"How many stupid marketing people that put together this survey are stupid?"

    Answer: All of them are obviously stoopider than they should be.

    Is this a trick question? Like, who's buried in Grant's tomb?

    Hold on, I need to call my lifeline.
