I beg to differ! Just for the sake of argument, I would like to propose
that there ARE stupid questions! Among them:

1) Which end of the clarinet do you blow into?
2) Do the keys go on the top or the bottom?
3) If you finger a low E, could you use the clarinet as a drinking straw?
4) Do you really need the reed?
5) How do you keep the batteries from falling out the end?

Sort of puts everything into perspective, doesn't it!
