Do intern proctologists ask dumbass questions?

Possibly.
When asked about the work I now have to do on various 'legacy' products, I explain it like this:
"I feel like a neurologist who has to go in rectally."

Hope you can always find the escape hatch.

Get a good "heads-up" on any of the pitfalls?

"Heads-up". 
A good description for those who thought it an excellent idea to shrink my team from 17 experienced and dedicated professionals to 5 experienced and dedicated raving lunatics.

So...you had 5 raving lunatics as part of the original group of 17 but just didn't realize it yet. Did I get this right?

No. The five of us who are left are now responsible for all the work done by the original 17. We're maintaining products that have been passed from their original developer through three or four people on their way to landing in our laps. This, along with the various cloning attempts and one bizarre episode involving the Canon copier in the office, has rendered all of us unsane.

The closest I got to that was in college when I proctored an exam for a teacher.

So the dumbass question was a coincidence?

I couldn't quite put my finger on it then I realized that the answer was no they don't - they ask penetrating questions.

Looking at the video, some admirals are also sunk every time they command a ship.

That led me to Captain, The Lord Blackadder - The Army Years[^] and his plans for Europe.
Perhaps we should be rethinking this "Brexit" idea and ... ummm ... buying Eurostar tickets?
