Your boss is awesome. I would totally do that to someone if I found someone gullible enough to keep answering things like 'how long is the keyboard'.

I've tried to tell him that I'm busy, or I can't or whatever, but he's my BOSS so he has this way of saying, "Well, if you're not willing to do this for me... blah blah blah." I dunno. I know he's not pulling the wool over my eyes, because he's just not that smart. He doesn't get sarcasm either. >.<

I showed up at my store about three hours before I was scheduled to work, I wasn't in work clothes, and I was just shopping around, and he comes up to me.
Boss: So, you're going to come in at four to work, right?

Boss: ... really?
Me: *sigh* No, I'm kidding.

Boss: Hey! How are you liking our little sci-fi swapmeet?
Mom: It's great! I even wore my favorite sci-fi t-shirt. (Shirt is obviously NOT sci-fi.)
Boss: Oh, awesome! ... what, uh, show is that from?
Mom: That's Buster Keaton. He's a silent comic from the twenties.
Boss: So... time travel?
Mom: It was a joke.

The guy is just not that bright.
