A Curious Question, Captain

Commander Data used to walk around in the first season going, "A curious question, Captain," and then pose some ridiculous question like, "What is perfume?" Thank god he finally stopped that.

I think the exchange used to go something like this.

Data: A curious question, Captain.
Picard: Data, Data. All questions are curious.
Data: Ah, deciphering redundant statements is beyond the scope of my programming.
Picard: Well? I haven't got all day. Their are children for me to make mean faces to.
Data: What is this? (holds out hand)
Picard: What is what?
Data: This. (moves hand)
Picard: There's nothing there.
Data: This, Captain. (moves hand again)
Picard: That? Your hand?
Data: Ah, a hand. Thank you, Captain.
