Do you really need to ask?

This is starting to seem more like answer a stupid question with a stupider question game.

My friend's father said this when I was a kid. It would seem a rhetorical question, but to him (the father) it wasn't. He expected an answer. And it had to be the correct answer. If my friend told him he was wrong (which he frequently was), my friend would get beaten.
Always fun to live with someone who is both larger than you and never wrong. You develop skills that are useful later in life. Not sure the tuition is worth the diploma, however.
