Who said there's no such thing as a dumb question? Some of these make you stop and go - What? Wait .... What?
***********************
EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK:
Are the alligators real?
Where are all the rides?
What time does the two o'clock bus leave?
MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK:
Did people build this, or did Indians?
Why did they build the ruins so close to the road?
Do you know of any undiscovered ruins?
Why did the Indians decide to live in Colorado?
CARLSBAD CAVERNS NATIONAL PARK:
How much of the cave is underground?
So what's in the unexplored part of the cave?
How many Ping-Pong balls would it take to fill this up?
Yosemite National Park:
Where are the cages for the animals?
What time of year do you turn on Yosemite Falls?
What happened to the other half of Half Dome?
Denali National Park:
What time do you feed the bears?
Can you show me where yeti lives?
How often do you mow the tundra?
How much does Mount McKinley weigh?
Yellowstone National Park:
Does Old Faithful erupt at night?
When does the guy who turns it on get to sleep?
We had no trouble finding the park entrances,
but where are the exits?
************************
I don't know if anybody remembers seeing a TV spoof show where they set up a fake on/off wheel near to Old Faithful, but they had quite a few people staring and pointing. "OMG, they're turning it ON!"

OK. I'll remember these questions when I visit some of these places one day :)
That 'one day' might be soon with the favourable AUD/USD exchange rate...still gotta save up though.
Every day I see tour groups going through the Pentagon, and I pretty much know the tour guides' spiel by heart. They get some good questions, too...where is the nuclear button, how many soldiers does each general own, etc. Sigh.
vw: cryloil - in France, crying over spilled oil.
Guides and Park Rangers must be extremely patient not to answer with great sarcasm. I'm afraid they would fire me after one day dealing with some of those stupid questions.
This coinsides with your posts of Q&A's of people calling in to tech support etc.
A - If you come across the big pond you're going to have a lot of manditory visits to make.
B - I see a book in your future. (Where IS the nuclear button?)
J - Or to keep from laughing.
B - You could probably come up with a list too.
