"Funny" Alaska questions.
So, what is the "funniest" Alaska question you have ever been asked by people who live Outside?
I have been asked:
1. "Do people live in igloos?"
2. "Did you have stores?"
3. "Can you drive cars there?"
4. "Does anyone have indoor plumbing?"
5. "Do people celebrate Christmas there?"
6. "What did you eat?"
7. "Did you have schools there?"
I've been asked some of these more than once and, depending on my mood (and who is asking), I answer them differently some times.... 
Yes, I am easily amused.  |

You'll love this.
I told a colleague (Dr.) at work that I was going to go to AK to work at a remote hospital.
She asked me, straight-faced, "what are you going to do without a grocery store- will you have to kill animals to survive?"
I told her, "yes I will, but hopefully some patients won't make it and I'll get free meat that way."
The look on her face was priceless.
