Rhetorically speaking...

• "Can I ask a rhetorical question? Well, can I?  (Ambrose Bierce)

• Grandma Simpson and Lisa are singing Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind:": "How many roads must a man walk down / Before you call him a man?"

          Homer: "Eight!"

          Lisa: "That was a rhetorical question!"

          Homer: "Oh.  Then, seven!"

          Lisa: "Do you even know what rhetorical  means?"

          Homer: "Do I know what rhetorical means?"
