Asking what a BLT is honestly isn&#8217;t dumb. Someone who doesn&#8217;t know what it is\u00a0could genuinely be wondering what it is or what those letters together may \u00a0mean. The conversation above was with the people I live with who know what a BLT is. Brayton gave me a weird\u00a0look when she answered because I always share cooking videos on Facebook, so I bet she was wondering why I was even asking.<\/p>\n<p>Another dumb question I asked was to Jordan. The question was: &#8220;Do you think ants can get high on Antacid?&#8221; He looked at me confused and immediately changed the conversation. I believe that he didn&#8217;t answer me because that is just Jordan&#8217;s personality and he doesn&#8217;t deal with the stupidity of his friends. So, he chooses to ignore it.<\/p>\n<p>I did get some responses to the question if they think ants can get high on antacid. The person would simply laugh and shake their head slightly while saying no. I felt dumb asking these questions\u00a0like people were actually wondering if I was that dumb. Yet, am I just that curious to wonder that out loud.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel like dumb questions are just more curious questions than normal questions are because no one really\u00a0wants to ask them and sound dumb. I don&#8217;t think anyone wants to ask something that just seems so obvious. That being said really dumb statements followed by dumb questions do exist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Great Britain, home of the Britains.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diane: &#8220;What goes on a BLT?&#8221; Brayton: &#8220;Bacon, lettuce, and tomato.&#8221; D: &#8220;Then why do people put avocado on it?
