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.)

don't you know who I am?
I once got into the VIP area at posh club in China because I said I was David Beckham. I can assure you I look nothing like him. What's your most brazen blag?

Stag / Hen weekends...
I have been commanded to organise a hen weekend with the instructions, something nice, no strippers, no clubs with dress codes. What have you done on hen / stag dos and did you get arrested?

What can you do that none of your mates can
Everyone's got some skill (some are for public display, others require a more *intimate* setting), some talent that makes them different from the person standing next to them... What's yours? Even if it's something like "I can keep my eyes open when I sneeze"... If people could post pictures of them doing these things it could even be a compo!

Stupidest puns you've ever made.
Ok one time me and my friends were hanging out and someone makes an origami boat. Sticking it in a nearby public toilet, we await people's varied responses because we're cool like that.
Not hearing anything good, I go in and exclaim;
Holy SHIP! Someone forgot to flush!
(Because it's a ship and it sounds like shit. Get it? Haha.)
So what's the stupidest, totally not funny but kinda funny because it's so stupid, pun you've ever made?

THE B3TX-FILES
This is one of my not-so-frequent good ideas. Not long ago I lived with my mum and brother in a pokey little converted basement under someones flat. The flat had the bedrooms and living room upstairs and the kitchen and a very cold storage room downstairs.
One night my mum came home with one of her mates, as they passed said storage room my mums mate turned to her and said "why is one of your boys in the storage room?" (not knowing that we were both upstairs in bed)
My mum turned round and said "they're not, you probably just saw the ghost that lives here". Apparently the ghost of a young boy frequently occured in that room.
my mum only told us of this AFTER we moved out which is just as well cos I would have shat my pants had I known when I was living there.
What other spooky stories do people have about ghosts, phantom encounters, UFOs, strange creatures etc?

Office pranks, c'mon, you know you want to.
Leave a post it for a colleague asking them to call 0117 974 7399 (Bristol Zoo) as Albert Ross left a message. This worked brilliantly on a guy in our office who said "Do you have an Albert Ross working there" (If you haven't got it yet, read the name out loud)
Swapping the M and N keys on a keyboard is another fav, as well as selotaping down the switch that the receiver sits on so the phone doesn't stop ringing when you pick it up.
What are your favorate pranks/japes?

fast food experiences (or horror stories)
I have been a Pizza delivery driver for at least 5 years now. and through this time I've seen crazier, scarier and funnier shit than my buddies in desk jobs.
I've had many close calls on traffic scenarios (including almost hitting a luxury limo!), had a naked guy answer the door once, some women answer the door wearing only a towel (once got invited to stay and watch a lingerie party!!).
If I could remember all the crazy scenarios pizza delivery has shown me I could write a book about it. (or at least post a few)
What strange situations have you been in with your fast food experiences?

abuse of power.
one of my responsibilties when working temp at a market research agency was to read surveys and send out samples of chewing gum, after reading a survey filled out by a particularly snooty bitch, in which she accused chewing gum of being common, lower class and 'making one look like a cow' i sent her 120 sample cases labeled "the bovine residence".
have you ever abused your power at work or otherwise?
bonus points for pettiness.

petty insults "on the sly"
For instance saying "thats a BOLD statement" to a bald man or "cant you SEE" (as in dont you understand) to a blind man or "he KNOWS.." directed at someone with a large nose.
Very childish, i know.

A QOTW that should get some laughs (God knows we need one).
I recently hospitalised my friend, when I hilariously decided to superglue his glass of water to his desk. He needed 14 stitches in his palm and struggles to write at the moment.
When have you seriously injured (physically or mentally) a friend (or enemy) as a result of nothing more than a good-natured jape?

Poor unfortunate souls
In my younger years I worked on a cruiseship full of people you could only describe as rude, obnoxious, American pie eaters. Part of my job selling crap in the gift shops was to take care of the 'Jewelery Sale' which was staged on tables outside the main stores in a sort of corridor with a very dark grey marble floor. Now 17 hours a day sailing the ocean blue may sound like a dream job at first but inevitabley boredom sets in after a while and even the cheap liquor and cigarettes lose their hold over you...... enter a US quarter, superglue and a remote control fart machine, cunningly hidden under the table full of tat we were trying to flog to these trailer park idiots. Idea being- we superglued the quarter to the floor just close to the table with the cheapest rubbish on it (Therefore the busiest and with the fattest of the species) and as the greedy twunts bent over to try and pick up the cash- we let rip with a monstrous audio collection of rip snorters. Needless to say much hilarity ensued for those of us who worked there but for the poor victims of our torture even the lowest dregs of the bottom feeders around them started to shake their heads in disgust, (Not sure if it was because of the gas or the fact that someone saw the 25 cents before them!) some even convinced themselves there was a smell..
What's the most immature but hilariously funny thing you have done to torture some poor innocents who have done nothing except sweat, eat burgers and say "Huh?" their whole life?

collections....
I have a few modest collections at the momnet. For example:
Animal bones/bits. I have a pig rib, a hare skull, a baby rabbits foot and a pidgeon's wing.
Signs. A traffic divertion sign I found in a stream, a no entry sign off something, a VW badge off an old car, a not drinking water sign my brother nicked for me from a school lab and a sign off an army barracks about explosives. I probably shouldn't have some of these.
There are many more but they arn't good enough to mention/not very big.

Village Idiot
Bobby V was a local "character" in my neighbourhood who in days of yore, he would have been a village idiot. His claim to fame was inserting his whole fist in his mouth, and was a regular winner at a local bar's "How far can you go contest" where he once ate a packet of cigarettes. What's your village idiot been up to?

When i was a student i bought the cheapest and nastiest ecomony burgers from the market. When cooked they were a pale shade of orange. It got to my lips, i bit, i certainly didnt swallow though instead i opened the window and spat it out flinging the rest of the burger after it. Whats the worst thing that you've put in your mouth?
