Two Questions with Ben Stein
What is the craziest question you’ve ever been asked?
How much money I have. That came from someone I had just met. That was insane.

What is your favorite question anyone has ever asked you?
Just this June, I told a group of men and women at a real estate finance company that I loved meeting people. A young man asked me, "Why do you like meeting people?" It was a stunning question that made me think that in some instinctual way, just meeting new people is encouraging to the human soul.
