Standing with a 12 meter Speed II parked above me and an overseas tourist walks up grabs the bar and says "can I have a go"
For grabbing the bar, I almost gave it to him! 
OK let's open it up then shall we??
Whats the weirdest, lamest, dumbest, funny, stoopid or whatever??
Standing on the beach with 13M Tribal in about 20Kts when a guy came up and said, "I can hold that bar for you, if you want to go and land your kite".

"where can I hire one of those things, I'd love to have a go ?"
next question she asked
"why would I need lessons ?"
ive had a couple of tourist asians come up and grab the bar while the other one takes a photo.... i just try and pull the rudest face
about to self launch an 8m at Lizard in 25-30 knots
tourist and wife, from resort, sidle up.....
"how do you know that thing is not going to pick you up and lift you over the island there (points downwind) -> ......"
reply: "oh it probably will, but I'm going to give it a shot. Better stand back!"
How do you turn around?
How do you stop?
Geez, you must be strong to hold that thing? (not knowing that the harness does all the work)
Where can you hire one of those things?
You can go upwind?? How does that work?
How come you dont just get dragged down the beach?
Thats a nice looking tent. What brand is that?
after coming in after a session, this lady comes up and says "can that pull you along".
It's pretty **** obvious coz ive been out all day being "pulled along".
"you didn't see a kid on a surf board out there?" - there where at least 10 surfers visible from the beach catching waves on an outer reef. But yer, I went back out there to tell some kid his mum wanted to know when he was/why he had just gone with out saying anything [kid being ~15]. I agreed cus she was a bit weird and I didn't want her to start crying or anything. Turned out that he was out there with his Dad. Nice family communication skills they had there.
Classic Must give that one a try next time
What is that thing?
Is it a kite?
my standard reply with a cheeky grin.
I bought this at the shops asked for a beach umbrella.
This is not working so I'm now taking it back but I’m having a bit of a bother getting it up the beach
Oh and what about this one
How much does that thing cost?
My reply
I don’t know, sorry I’m just holding it for some guy whilst he goes to the toilet

A tourist asked me if he could borrow my boardies when I finished my session as he forgot his at home (in Aus) but didn't have a car to go and pick them up before dark.
None kite related again but the new guy at work asked me "does this firepole go down ???" No d!#$head we climb the poles and roll down the stairs.
