That's all very well, Rover, but:

Did the suggestive question also walk into a bar? Yes, of course it did!

Now you've got me wondering:

Would any hypothetical questions ever walk into a bar? Would they all walk into the same bar, or different ones? What might they order?

(This is fun!)

A present participle and a gerund are walking into a bar. They're twins, so everyone has trouble telling them apart.
