My husband works as an actor/interpreter in a living history museum where it's always 1645. The actors are in costume, as the staff of the manor house while the owner is away. He also works freelance in various roles in different historical places.

You can imagine, therefore, that he has a lot of good stories about daft questions from members of the public as well as the stories he blends into his work. My favourite daft question so far was when they were showing the story of Guy Fawkes at the Tower of London. They were followed around by a crowd, as usual, and two of the crowd stayed back once it was all over in order to approach two of the actors. The question? "Say, do you know you're wearing tights?" We have had many a happy moment working out the best response to this question...

Best tour commentary I remember, however, was the skipper on a boat trip around the Isles of Scilly.
"Don't worry if we capsize. All you have to do is remember to hold your breath for about ten minutes and then we'll come right again."
and
"You'll notice the bird over there. That's a cormorant. What's the difference between a cormorant and a shag? Well, a cormorant has six feathers at the end of each wing and a shag has seven." - at this stage the sea was so rough it was impossible to even focus on the bird, let alone think of counting feathers!
