It seems to be increasingly common to finish a briefing, meeting or presentation with the line
"Any Questions?"

So I need to find cringe inducing response to this simple query.

My first few include:

"Why does it hurt when I wee?"
"How many beans make 5?"
"Where do babies come from?"
"What's a clitoris?"

Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to think of further cringe inducing questions.

Another counter-strategy to this classic endgame follows a fractionally more subtle approach.

"Anybody else smell gas?"
Note: for maximum effect, must be said with sufficient ambiguity so as to lie exactly halfway between literal and figurative meanings.
Alternatively try "What's a question?" or perhaps "Depends on the answers."
Another awkward one is "Can you just answer me, yes or no?", making sure not to reference another question.

With regard to cringe inducing:
"What's the plural of penis?" (and clitoris too, to cover equal-opportunity policies)
"What's your position on homosexuality?"
Your suggestion of "Where do babies come from?" gets a solid vote from me though.

Another one to try is "How many words did I just use in this completely arbitrary question?"
And of course old ones can be good ones too: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
