      My coworker once when I asked him a hard question: “Don’t make me lie to you.”

      I still think of that a lot and try to work it in when someone asks me an impossible question.

        when someone asks me an impossible question.

        I think that response actually works for the loaded question:

        “Have you stopped beating your wife?“

          Easy answer: No

          Though someone can assume another answer it should be followed up by another question, such as: why not? Then you can explain: “Never started” for instance

          Though the answer of “don’t make me lie to you” is still a good one and prevents further questions

          Since it is super easy, barely an inconvenience, I am going to share this link from where my statement came from:-)
