    It’s an extremely Randall sort of question and answer, to be fair.

    But holy shit, some of these other ones are amazing. The T-Rex question isn’t the only one in there worth reading.

    Professor: “A student asked me “So how do I use this in a conversation when my aunt is wine-drunk at thanksgiving and being a jerk again?” Which honestly is a fair question about philosophy and really changed how I teach rhetoric.”

      I love that post. As with many things, I originally came across it as a screenshot on /r/tumblr. I figured it’d be better received if I went for an archive link of the actual post rather than reposting the screenshot.

      A couple more of my favorites:

      • Park Ranger: “I’m so glad the Japanese couple asked me “Is bear spray like mosquito spray and it goes on the jacket, or on the bear?” instead of just trying it.”

      • Zookeeper: “People call us becuase they think they’ve found an escaped animal all the time, or they think they’re neighbor’s husky is a wolf. One guy asked me if his dog was part hyena because it had spots. But that one guy really did have a Tiger in his toolshed that one time so we try to take them seriously.”
