“Survey on men’s underpants. We had to take them back after a month.”

Asking priests if they sang dirty words to hymns as boys.

What is the most unlikely/rudest response to a question?

“Why don’t you get a proper job?”

While interviewing in Ipswich, an older gentleman bustled up to one researcher and hissed: “You’re a curse to society.”

Name the lamest excuse/best reason from someone who doesn’t want to contribute to a survey.

“…I can’t help you dear, I’ve got somebody else’s teeth in.”
