Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Trick or Treat
A friend of mine used to give trick or treaters a slice of bread and tell them not to eat it all once. His garden would be full of discarded hovis in the morning, but it was apparently worth it to see the look on the little fuckers faces.
Sure you guys have had better experiences administering or receiving tricks and treats?

Bring back hanging.
The courts today are all soft. Prisons are like bloody five-star holiday camps, with a bloody colour telly in every cell.
We need to send a strong message to murderers.
Last time we had hanging, there was no murders at all anymore.
And that's why we got rid of it.
It's time to bring it back now, though, I reckon.

Lifts
I once called the lift in halls and the doors opened to reveal 3 drunk girls having a piss. One of them had also dun a poo.
Considering that I was living on the 17th floor of a tower block this was pretty fucking antisocial of them.
What fun stories about lifts do you have?

Subtle justice.
Tell us about a time when you've either justifiably dropped someone in the shit without anyone knowing it was you, or just got petty revenge. Either way, stealth is key here.

double standards
a friend of mine is all against bonfire night and din particular the celebration of the burning of the effergy of guy fawkes.
I asked him if he was a church goes and he said yes, so in the interest of starting a full blown argument i simply told him that he was a hypocrite, for wanting the burning banned but also for celebrating the crossifuction of jebus of nazareth who i thought played in the eagles but that is a different argument
so let the religious riots begin or some other drivel

Down wiv da kidz.
We had a friend and her husband over a couple of years ago for drinks. The next day, my mother-in-law called in with some stuff and enquired as to whether we'd had a good night by asking if we'd all got spackered, thinking she was using the latest vernacular to describe getting a bit squiffy. My friend has cerebal palsy. I wanted the ground to open up.
When have you witnessed the older generation trying to be hip and getting it fist-swallowingly wrong?

Racist grand pianos.
I had a grand piano once. But it kept all the black keys on a seperate shanty keyboard and made them pick cotton or something.
I don't know.

I dun a flounce.
Tell us a story about YOU doing a massive flounce in a real life situation and feeling like a prick afterwards. YOU. Not someone else. YOU. Because, let's face it; you are a massive blubbery flouncing prick. Yes you are. Stop flouncing about it and tell us your flouncing story. That funny one you are ashamed of. You prick.

I have lots of luck. Some of it good.
Tell us about the time that you took a risk and amazingly, against all odds and experience, it actually worked. Lady Luck was smiling on you and Fate was on your side - for a change.
Or, conversely, the moment an icy hand gripped your spine as you realised that something had gone horribly, horribly wrong with your carefully laid plans: once more the dice had rolled the wrong way and the gods had opened their bowels onto the duvet of your life.

Codes
We all have codes of behaviour. Morals, ethics, standards. But what are your's, and your friends, unwritten codes of behaviour?
With my mob it was acting as a "wingman" to engage the ugly girl while the "fighter" went in to take out the main target.
And don't give me any sexism shit as I know that girls do *exactly* the same. Take a hit for the team.
Cheers

Sexist Grandparents
My Pop refused to let my Nanna seek paid employment, insisting that her place was in the kitchen. Any resistance on her part was met by his fists.
He did however allow her to volunteer her time cleaning the local catholic church (so the priest didn't have to deplete his altar-boy grooming funds to hire a cleaner). Because he was a fucking christian, that's why. And a war hero, too.
This sexism has not affected my own employment prospects, but I still feel entitled to bitterly oppose any mention of sexism that anyone might make.
And just you cunts go and try to make something funny out of this offensiveness and pain. You will have never seen a flounce like it.

Secret swearing.
Swearing at people but without them knowing. Because, basically, you're scared. Nothing wrong with that. We all get scared sometimes. Except me. I'm brilliant.

Getting old
The first time I went to a club without caring what I wore, was the day I turned old. Now I get up bright and early when once I used to go bed at dawn.
When did you realise you were old?

Injured animals.
I saw a magpipe with a broken wing using a zebra crossing once.
It was monochromatically pleasing. And involved an injured animal. I was made up.
Does anyone have a FUNNY STORY about an injured animal?
I dunno. Something like a horse with all it's legs in plaster so it looks like a cunt or something.

Hypocrisy
We're all guilty of being a bit hypocritical from time to time (or constantly, if you're Nick Clegg ROFLOLOLOL satire). Tell us stories of your (or someone else's, if you're not into the whole 'self-realisation' thing) double standards and self-deception. Extra points for moaning about internet bullies, then going on to attack someone else online for absolutely no reason. After all, we've got to make Legless feel good about himself somehow
Edit: On second thoughts, no we don't - he seems to manage that all by himself. What I wouldn't give for that man's (misplaced) self-belief
