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.)

Kill the goose that lays the golden egg
Did you kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Probably shouldn't have done that, plenty of other geese around you could've killed.

Misunderstandings
Tell us about humorous or embarassing misunderstandings that you've witnessed or perhaps made yourself.

If you had any creative ability what would you make?
If you had any creative ability what would you like to make? What skills would it take to make that? What would it take to start aquiring those skills? Why don't you spend the time you normally spend on here riding the coat-tails of the talented on /board, and sniping and snarking on /qotw and /talk and use that time to learn how to do something original. Then next week there might actually be more interesting stuff to look at, and everyone would feel better for not having been subjected to a week of puerile put downs and nay-saying.
Or why not make up some new preposterous story or exaggerate a true story to preposterous extremes so that other dullards can rip it to shreds yet again. God I want to cry. Why am I even bothering? No-one ever listens. Nurse! Nurse?! Fucking meds in my cocoa again. The bastards... Must... mention... Honda... Accord....

Trolls
The last week or so has seen several threads where an epically proportioned shitstorm of spasticated poo flinging has taken place. Mainly by flids taking this website way too srsly.
Tell us about your experience of genuine trolling (Note for the remedial class- 'trolling' is not 'disagreeing' or 'annoyance') on B3ta, Have Your Say or any other web-based receptacle of retardedness.
Bonus points if you're Australian.

The worst day of my life
Tell us about the times that your plans failed, you got fired / dumped / accused of sexually molesting a dolphin or spent five hours locked in a lift with Jeremy Kyle.
*** Please, by all that's holy, pick a topic that might actually generate some amusing stories in the answers. If not this one, then something, anything that actually has scope.
Just a hint: if the audience are making up their own subject, eg limerics, and answering that rather than the chosen topic, then you might want to consider that the original choice was not a good one. Just saying, like.

Exception that proves the rule
This expression is used by many to indicate that an exception in some way confirms a rule. Others say that the exception tests the rule. In its original legal sense, it meant that a rule could sometimes be inferred from an exemption or exception. In general use, the first meaning predominates nowadays, much to the annoyance of some pedants. If you were forced to have sex with an animal of your choice, which one would it be?

Do you have kids?
Yes? Tell us about them. Everyone loves stories about other people's kids. Other people's kids are a joy unto the world, and certainly not malformed little trolls that should be drowned at the earliest opportunity.
No? Tell us why you hate kids. It'll be ever so original, and help distract from your impotent/barren/virginal state.
Oh, and all entries should be in the form of limericks. That really won't make me want to gouge out my eyes.

Fuck buddies.
Ever had a friend who would let you have no strings attached relationship free sex with them? Did it turn out that there were more strings attached than you thought? Tell us your stories and laugh as certain QOTW regulars burn themselves out whilst trying to call absolutely everyone here a liar or paedophile.
