I agree with the comments made above about "stupid questions"

Stupid questions are never asked ....

Signs of these are:

OOOHHH SH*%!
Palm slapping the forehead...
Everyone around you is pointing and laughing.
Incident becomes local legend.
You have 10 pairs of eyes staring at the back of your neck while you are trying to fix the ...
Everyone clears out while the boss is walking rapidly towards you.
It's gonna cost some bucks....

I'm sure these guys can add to the list <grin>

Just remember that ignorance can be cured,
stupidity on the other hand, ...

Currently,

You reminded me of a time when we were having some renovations done at our industrial plant. I told the GC that I was going to Carl's Jr. for a breakfast burrito and to please not blow the place up while I was gone. I came back to see half the lights out in the plant and the entire construction crew looking at the saw cut where the concrete cutter had cut. The image of the lights out and 8 guys looking at the floor just cracked me up.

it turns out the when the building was built they did not bury the conduit deep enough so the cutter sawed through the lines for the lighting in half the plant. All worked out in then end.
