I know this isn't the same thing, but I once had a girl ask me if my heart was still beating. Granted, at the time I was first injured, I had a dozen tubes and wires connected to me.

I have to agree with John to a great extent.
 
Just today I was telling my home health nurse that the stupidest question I have been asked [and really irked by] over the years is "How Do You Go on?"
 
I feel like saying "What is the alternative or what do you suggest is the best alternative?"
 
My nurse asked me if it were adults that actually asked that question and I said YEP! 
 
In my experience, children have asked the best questions and that is probably because they have not had many years of adult live experience that have dull their sensitivity toward others.

that is by far, the dumbest question I've heard in ages. When asked a question that stupid I often reply with an answer equally as stupid. In this case, I wouldn't answer it. I'd run over their foot and while they cried I'd ask, "Did it hurt?"
Before my injury I could have dope slapped them.

Hi All,
    On and off I participate in studies regarding my SCI. Often I'm asked something like "...how would you rate your quality of life since your SCI"? This question gets SO deep under my skin, I could scream.
  How do you all feel about your quality of life since your injury?
