Huh?

Is there any point to asking several questions when you only need one answer?

What are you doing tonight? Oh, that sounds fun.. you going to be there for a while? Sweet.. where you headed after that? Really? I thought that place went out of business. Well, cool. You'll probably be tired after that and ready for bed, huh? No? You thinking you are up for something else afterwards? OK.. wanna do something?

TRANSLATION:

Hey, I'm going bowling tonight.. you in?

Yes: Sweet, see you there at 8.
No: OK, catch ya next time

I had a class today. A refresher on Emergency pediatric care. We were doing scenarios and several people kept asking questions like... Is the baby breathing? What does it's skin color look like? Are it's pupils fixed? When was it last seen?
That's good, it's all stuff you look for and necessary questions.... eventually.
My theory... KISS
My question... Is the kid dead? Instructor awnser.... yes enough said, scenario over
Ahhhh.. the power of concise questions.
Think about it next time you feel like beating around the bush. Personally, the more questions I get asked, the more irritated I get and you never know what may escape my lips!!
Nuuuwaaahahahaha
