What question can you not honestly answer "yes" to?
Any question to which the answer is anything other than "yes"... Like: "Do most humans have three legs"?
Or perhaps you are lookig for this famous paradox:
"Is 'No' the correct answer to this question?"...
To the later though you can not honestly answer 'No' either. It's got no correct answer...
Are you dead?
Are you asleep?
Heeheeheeheeheeheehee . . .
Try, there was a well-know German linguist, whose name escapes me, who tells a story on himself. He had come across an old man in northern Norway who was literate, and fluent both in Norwegian and the patois of the Laplanders who deal with the Norwegians. Becoming excited, he asked the old man how one says this, how one says that--and then he asked what one say when one is dead . . .
There was a long pause . . .
Well, as far as i know, people who die here don't say anything . . .
"What question can you not honestly answer "yes" to?"
The question where the honest answer is "no".
