          A great real advertisement that was played leading into a trumpet long tone exercise that I do on YouTube. Very appropriate:

                You have all heard teachers, advisors, seminar leaders and the like say, “there are no dumb questions”.

                Would anyone like to put their two cents in on this?

                  They say that to encourage shy participants to ask questions if something isn't clear to them. If it wasn't clear, there are probably others that would like to ask the same question. IOW, the only dumb question is the one you were afraid to ask. But there are dumb/stupid questions.

                  Good discussion here: https://sites.monroecc.edu/mofsowitz/advice/stupid-questions/

                  From another perspective, I had a professor that said the only stupid question is one that is posed in such a way that it can't be answered. He was referring to logical defects, but how about "what mouthpiece should I buy if I want to be able to play double Cs next week?"

                    Parallel lines have so much in common. It's a shame they will never meet!

                                Murphy applied for a fork-lift operator post at a famous Irish firm based in Dublin.

                                A Norwegian applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test and led to a quiet room with no interruptions by the Manager.

                                When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.
                                The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we've decided to give the Norwegian the job.

                                Murphy,... "And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish surely I should get the job.”

                                Manager, "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong.”

                                Murphy, "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than another?

                                Manager "Simple; on question number 7 the Norwegian wrote down
                                'I don't know.’

                                You put down, 'Neither do I.
