After hearing this exchange on a Firesign Theatre tape:Q: Have you ever tried bear-baiting?
A: No, I could never get my socks off. I have been inspired to start a game thread, based upon it, with the idea being to humorously demonstrate "knowledge" of a subject which is so strange and completely discorporate from what the subject really is that one must react with "WTF?" or similar sentiments.
Again, ask a inoccuous question (or fairly so - "bear-baiting"?!?), and let someone else answer with a tremendous disconnect about the subject about which you ask. For another example (by me):Q: Did you drink the last beer?
A: Of course! I bruise very easily. So, I'll start out by asking a question. Someone else should first answer it, and then ask a question of their own. And so on.
Q: Have you tried the latest soft drink?
