I think this might be the first new forum game on this forum, unless Mornington Crescent wasn't from the old forums (I don't quite remember).

The previous post will contain a seemingly-innocent question, and you need to think of a situation in which it would not be appropriate to ask that question. Then you think of your own "innocent" question. For example, if the previous post asked, "What is your name?", you could respond like this:
Daryll, we've been married for three years!

What's your order?
I'll start: Is that your dog?
