Ask the person below you a question. It can be any question. Within the boundaries of what's allowed here, of course. The object is for the next person to give a completely wrong or absurd answer.

Example:

Q: "What is 2×2?"

A: "Green, with a hint of banana. Maybe some 'I hate my job' sprinkled in?"

Have you read any good books lately?

I don't even know how to read or write. .....,,.O.,, well....Isn't that strange. I did both just now. Hmm....absurdity.


Q. What is pi?

Well, duh. Everyone knows what "pi" is. Depends on the flavor though. We talking apple, peach, chocolate? Mud, perhaps?



*Points to the next person's shoes with a confused look.*

What are those? 😱


But for real, what's your favorite breakfast?

"Breakfast...? Hmm... I think the best way to break something fast is to throw it from high up. Out a window, maybe." Chiharu grinned a little; this getting-stuff-super-wrong-on-purpose thing was fun.
"Okay! Now my question is... How can I make lots of good friends?"

"Always tell them what's on your mind, lie, cheat, flirt with their girlfriends/boyfriends, and most importantly gossip about them my dear," Ravenna snickered and twisted a strand of hair between her thin fingers.

She turned to the next person, "how should I start my day tomorrow?"

Is that not how you make a lot of friend, Miss Ravenna? ....I have been doing that all wrong then. And you should start your day tomorrow with a nice dinner, then go to bed because it is daylight.

Wait. I think I did that wrong. Oh well.

Q. What is the meaning of life? .....This should be good.

<The only point of living is to wait for carcinisation. That's evolving into a crab, for those who don't know.>
<Next, I have a question. How should I prepare myself to start university this fall?>

"Cheese. Lots of cheese. Maybe learn to ride a llama, too? And most importantly, adopt a paraplegic."

*Willow looked to the next person.*

"What's for dinner?"

The doe lifts an eyebrow, what a question, it's so evident : "Salty Seawater with Seagull, surprising service..sssss

But what is to ask the next person...

"Do toasters really fly?

"Not if you feed them after midnight, they don't. Or... I guess it depends on the dimension? I dunno! Toasters are weird, man!"

Cedar turns to the next person waiting, before putting on a barista apron without breaking eye contact.

"...Welcome to the Crossover Café, where my need for therapy is chronic but my coffee is iconic! What can I get for you?"

"I'll take a pint of tennacity, a helium omelet, your soul if you still have one, and 2 bagels."

looking at the next guy "What do you do when you lose your soul?"

"Luckily, they make apps to track that sort of thing. Sure, sometimes you have to end up going through nine dimensions and at least four separate realities, but the little map it displays is super convenient! Download FindMySoul today! Haha, what? No, no, this isn't- they didn't pay me to say that or anything... Um, anyway..."
"I have a veeery simple question for the next person. Um... How do you make tea?"

Clark's expression turned serious, "In astrophysics, spaghettification -- sometimes referred to as the noodle effect -- is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long, thin shapes, rather like spaghetti -- hence the name -- in a very strong non-homogeneous gravitational field; it is caused by extreme tidal forces. In the most extreme cases, in particular near black holes, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter its components. Within a small region, the horizontal compression balances the vertical stretching so that small objects being spaghettified experience no net change in volume."

His smile is genuine. "And there you have it. Tea."

"Maybe you can direct me to the nearest print shop? I need to get a few things laminated."

“The nearest print shop, hm…? You go straight over there, and after that you turn left, right, left… no wait, yes, right again, turn around that, you know statue over there”, meanwhile the gesticulation is confusing, pointing left when said right and accordingly not the same direction, “you jump over the dog laying in the sun, take the bridge, turn left again, watch out not to fall into that hole. Eerrr, yes, wait, no, yes you take the boat and eventually arrive in the street with the printshop, but I don’t know if it is in the middle or somewhere at a corner. You think you’ll find? ” a stupid grin on the doe’s face indicates that she has not the slighted clue if it is still open.

“But I want to know, how do you plant a tree?” Lizbeth lives in the forest but never saw how people plant trees.
