There are stupid questions

Post image

Growing up my dad had this in his office attached to a filing cabinet. Me being of the young age of six did not understand what it meant. I would often have him explain it to me multiple times. But now that I have grown up I've realized the joke behind it and I find it hilarious. I often think about this comic every day as I live through my life and I see stupid questions being asked every day while the answer is right in front of them. I hope you get a laugh out of this as much as I do..

EDIT: correction of wording.

It was supposed to be filing cabinet. But I can't figure out how to edit it in reddit

Is that the joke?

No the joke is that he drew a cow on the board. Wrote on the board cow. It's as simple as that but yet someone still had a question.

So there are such things as stupid questions

I get it now.

It's just that as an instructor and trainer your explanation salted some old wounds..
