Here's one for you.....

Take a blank white 8-1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Walk up to someone. Take the paper and quickly hold it out in front of there face and quickly say "What color is this?". They will answer "white". Without delay, take the paper away and ask them "What do cows drink?". See what answer you get.

If Mike, and I say If, I were to be caught napping by your obvious attempt to mislead, and gave you the expected response, I would quickly recover my composure and point out that all cows start out drinking.... what was the question?

Your 100% correct. Virtually no one (other than those masterminds, such as yourself

) thinks quick enough to come up with that response on the fly but when they do, I have a counter that I'll share later.
