   AK> Well, once I have found the most stupid question asked   
   AK> on Earth -- to ask a drunken man why he had sat behind   
   AK> the wheel drunken. ;=)   
      
   That reminds me of an opposite occasion: an ingenious   
   question from a drunk man to a sober.  It happened in the   
   cusp season when late autumn yields to early winter and the   
   weather is damp, cold, murky, and depressing because there   
   is no snow yet to amend the early darkness, the barren trees   
   and bushes, and the general greyness of the world.  It is in   
   such mean weather that my father and his friend were   
   standing at a bus stop and shivering in the cold when a   
   drunk bedraggled man, probably a bum, accosted them in this   
   respectful manner: "O fathers!", said he, "what is the   
   time?", to which one them said it was eight. "Fathers!",   
   said the bedraggled man after a pause, "it is in the morning   
   or in the evening?"
