What if there were no such thing as a hypothetical question?

That's akin to If a tree falls on a mime in the woods and there is nobody there....does anyone care?

you mean besides the mime?

Hhmmm... I'm thinking here ... about the tree in the woods scenario.... so ... if a tree falls in the woods on a mime ... does the mime make any noise?

Do you walk to work or bring your own lunch?

I think Martha Stewart would agree when a tree falls on a mime " It's a good thing ".

If you yell Hoo Rah! or Hot Damn! on a Saturday morning,while the Postal Person(PC) is driving down your street and the Wife or SO dosen't hear you.Does that mean you've snuck another 5pk or Box into the cooler/humidor,without her knowing about it? Did it or has really happened? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

OOPS....If a man answers a question and there is no woman near by, is he still wrong?

How much muck would a woodchuck upchuck if a woodchuck could upchuck muck?

Jimmy's posed a hypothetical question about the consequences if there were no hypothetical question and I don't think we're giving him enough serious deliberation. How about we put some thought into it. Okay, done.

That would leave us with a real question.

If a lawyer and an IRS agent were drowning in a pond, would you a) go to lunch or b) light up a stogie?

Just responding is a hypothetical!

eleltea : i would consider that to be a good start
