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.)

Being put in your place
tell us stories of how you were put in your place, or how you put someone else in their place.
For example:
When dating a single mother a few years back, we took her littl'un to a petting farm. On this farm was a shire horse, which I petted and to reassure the littl'un, said:
"he's lovely and friendly"
To which my missus replied:
"It's a girl, it's got a kid", pointing out the foal nearby
"He might have adopted" I retort
She checks under the hood, "nope definitely a girl"
"Maybe he tucks"
This went on for a while, then I thought I had it sussed, and proudly announced:
"There's an easy way to settle this - will everyone who is a girl please raise their hand"
The horse raised its hoof onto the fence, and I never heard the bloody end of it.
