as someone who asks a whole lot of interesting questions, i can
sometimes ask some really good ones without too much effort.
often, i find, that the most interesting of questions are the simplest
ones.
a question that on first consideration would otherwise seem utterly
ridiculous.
but the more you ask it, the more ridiculously enlightening it gets.
...
i came up with a real beaut recently.
and the more i think about the question, the more i just gotta laugh.
it's so utterly simple.
everyone should ask this question.
at least once a day.
they should ask themselves, and others.
...
it's a question with a gazillion punchline answers.
but it's the answers that aren't funny which are the funniest of all.
in a positive life-changing kind of way.

You want people to beg you for the question, don't you?
But I wouldn't even consider it unless I thought you would actually
tell me.
who, moi?
nope.
i only beg for cash.

then start begging.

Well, the truth is, I already know the question. It's "what is 6 times
9".
nope.
anyway, i recently posed the question to someone who positions
themselves as an expert on the subject of the question and it has
apparently completely stumped them.
which is not at all surprising, because it's a very hard question to
answer seriously.
it really makes you think.
and feel.
