Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions (SATSQ) - Contest 1

There used to be a really funny feature in the MAD Magazine that I used to enjoy and lap up. It was called "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions". It used to have a hilarious combination of dumb questions and terrific comebacks by the cult cartoonist Al Jaffee

Many times, I have been caught by what is definitively a stupid question from an acquaintance, relative or even friend. Though I consider myself quick witted (modesty, it certainly seems is an underrated virtue!), there are times when I sit thinking that I should have given a better answer to the Stooopid question.

So, in rememberance and fond revenge of all those times, I proudly unveil the SATSQ - Contest 1.

Here is the stupid question, quite a favorite in Interviews..





"Where do you see yourself in five years?"

What would be your SATSQ response to that question? The winner will be crowned "Smart Alec" and awarded a trophy here on Saturday. Please note that racial comments or flaming are not welcome and will not be published, much less awarded..

    SATSQ would be
    "I'll get in touch with my astrologer and get back to you at the earliest"

    "At a lone friend's place, sipping the last drops of wine, rewinding and reliving life's failures"
    OR
    "At a friend's place, sipping the never ending drops of Chivas Regal, and proudly boasting my success"

    Now it's your turn to decide an option?
