what off the wall questions do you ask people you don't know?

i ask them something that everyone has a story about and is probably willing to share but other people are likely to disagree with.

I'm not sure that, "What in the hell are you DOING!?" is necessarily 'random' questioning, but usually acutely related to actions immediately preceding it.

I stopped randomly talking to complete strangers when I stopped drinking in bars. :laughing:

No matter which Park, Monument, or Forest I am visiting, I ask where to find the trail to Old Faithful. I had a park ranger at a state park in the Black Hills, SD pull out the park map and look for it. :p

At the Grand Canyon, I asked a ranger to point out Half Dome. She didn't bite. :( It was still fun.
"Can you point out Half Dome for me."
"No, that's at Yosemite."
"Oh, so we can't see it from here?"
"No."
My traveling companions were ready to throw themselves into the canyon in embarrassment. :p

Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!

Oh man that's a classic. I was obsessed with that movie as a kid lol. I kinda miss those buses. Rode them throughout college. They are not operating here anymore, probably due to wheelchair accessibility. They were built like tanks and the reupholstered ones had the most comfy seats.

The sad thing is... Old memes are all I know anymore.

But even more sad, memes today are just a simple img with white text on top and on the bottom. Sad.

It makes me feel old when I realize that some old memes that I still remember well are 20 years old. All your base are belong to us for example. Somebody set us up the bomb!
