Rhetorical questions, Answering

Are you the type of librarian who answers rhetorical questions?

Who, me?
Is the world round?
Why not answer rhetorical with rhetorical? You know, like with like?

Is that a rhetorical question?

The answer depends on whether "Can I ask you a question?" asked of a reference librarian who is making ALA-approved eye contact, sitting alertly at the reference desk, is a rhetorical question. If so, I answer rhetorical questions nearly every day.
