Quote:

that was a hypothetical question, Fatty.



Don't see it. Which of the following meanings of "hypothetical" were you aspiring towards:

hy-po-thet-i-cal adj
1. assumed by hypothesis; supposed: a hypothetical case.
2. of, pertaining to, involving, or characterized by hypothesis: hypothetical reasoning.
3. given to making hypotheses.
4. Logic.
4a. (of a proposition) highly conjectural; not well supported by available evidence.
4b. (of a proposition or syllogism) conditional.


None of these seem to be applicable.



Your proposition that the question was "hypothetical" is, by logic, hypothetical. [See 4A above]




Might you have meant "rhetorical question"?




If so, I would agree with a wise one who pointed out to me the similarities of this vain plea to that of one Pee Wee Herman who after he trips proclaims boldly, "I meant to do that!"





Might I recommend LESS Pez? Too much sugar isn't good for the brain. No matter how it feeds your manic.

Lamotrigine might help.
