Dallas-

I sometimes ask my questions through the use of absurd statements, 
lolol.  Otherwise people sometimes don't venture to answer the 
question, if they deem it too simple.

Although, I'll generally begin by giving the person the opportunity 
to answer a simple question first, before proceeding to an absurb 
statement if it goes unanswered.
