One day it was snowing and i was with one of my friends that thinks he knows trucks and his friends which are even worse. (All of them have f150s with a cheap 6inch lift and 35s. Also most of them are only 2wd go figure.) So we got bored and decided to pill in the jeep and go hit some small trail on the way one dumbass in back goes is this thing 4wd. I go what kind of question is that i even have lockers. (You want to guess what he says from there) oh what are those..... I was ready to just through him out there.

Oh, another one: Have the old JK forum decal on my Jeep. A guy approaches me at a restaurant and asks if that's my Jeep outside. "It is." "I'm a salesman at David Stanley [Jeep dealer a mile down the road] and was wondering what 'JK' means."

My Jeep is topless and doorless all Summer. I had a guy ask me where I got the *IDEA* to remove the doors. I was dumbfounded for a moment and replied "I read about it in the owner's manual".
A neighbor asked how often I use the periscope. - of course, he meant the snorkel.

Why Berate people.
Why would I want to read an article where all you are doing is pointing out stupid, idiotic, and "oatmeal brained" people because of a lack of knowledge on the subject of jeeps. Lost count of how many times you used those words. I'll continue to answer politely. My educators always told me there were no stupid questions. Just saying...

I don't know about the dumbest question I've been asked but I did get a dumb answer to a question one time.
A guy about my age (29) pulls up the while I am waiting in line at the redbox in a lifted JK with about a 4 inch lift, 35s,bumpers, flat fenders and doors off. He walks up and I smile and say nice jeep. He says thanks. I ask "what size lift does it have?" He looks at me with a weird look and finally says "aaahhh, I don't know." I said "what brand is it?" Again "I don't really know, but its a big one." I must have been making a funny face at him because finally he says "dude I just bought it that way. I don't really know anything about it." 
I get it, there is nothing wrong with buying a jeep with mods done to it already but please know something about it... There is no way I am the first one to ask him, I have seen that jeep around Sanger for three years.
