In school, we're told that there are no stupid questions. This is to get kids to ask questions about what they don't understand. However, once we're grown (and usually even before then), we learn that yes, indeed, there are some pretty stupid questions! Asking them might seem like a good idea at the time, but hearing the sarcastic answers or the flat out 'are you an idiot?' that we get in response does a pretty good job of teaching us to never ask dumb things. Some people just haven't learned that lesson yet, and it may be up to you to teach it to them. The If You Don't Want A Sarcastic Answer Don't Ask A Stupid Question Patch might help educate them. It's one of the Sayings Patches.
Many people ask stupid questions, but they don't always realize that what they're saying is dumb until the words are out of their mouths. It's somewhat forgivable if they immediately realize they're having a stupid moment and take it back, especially if they mock themselves. It's those people who are always saying clueless things and not realizing how dumb they are that deserve your sarcasm. When it comes to those people, you're free to let loose with as many sarcastic comments as you want, especially if they don't realize you're making fun of them. Give people a few passes, but if it becomes clear they're going to ask stupid questions for the rest of their lives, some mocking is allowed.
This sayings patch measures 4 by 1.5 inches and is embroidered in white over black twill. It can be ironed or sewn on.
