Hmm... next question please!

This is not something that I’m just making up. These questions are thrown right in your face and you are left wondering eh… what? The world is filled with enough wise people and twice their number- are a bit of less sensible people like me who have to put up with the big brained scholars. Never mind. Let me put forth these intelligent queries that atleast gets me thinking about some serious issues they bring to my notice rather than thinking over some trivial matters which are merely just important in my life.

Situation: You’ve had a hair cut. The length has been reduced drastically, lets say from waist length to boy cut.
Question: Had a hair cut?
Answer: No, its winter and I’m shedding! / Oh God! My hair has shrunk!!!

Situation: You are just leaving from home and meet someone at your doorstep.
Question: Are you going somewhere out?
Answer: Is this the way out? Eureka I’ve finally found the right door for exit in this
maze I’ve been living for years!

Situation: You get a call from some unknown person (an obvious: wrong number) on your cell phone.
Question: Which place does this number belong to?
Answer: Well, right now I’m standing on ‘planet earth’. So I assume this number belongs to the same place.

Situation: You are sitting and reading a book or a newspaper.
Question: What are you doing?
Answer: I am right now trying to save the world from my anti-social intents by burying myself into these manuscript that I can’t read.

Situation: You trip and fall down or bang into something and pretty obvious, you hurt yourself.
Question: Did that hurt?
Answer: Not at all. I’ve heard Judas Priest’s ‘Painkiller’ a hundred times and since then nothing hurts me. I suggest that you must try the same therapy.

I know these are just rhetoric questions or may be just some common questions. But they are done to death. You come across them time and again and they don’t deserve to be answered at all. But then you just have to live with them for they'll meet you time and again.
