To be honest, some of the questions could have been interpreted the wrong way, making the answer a bit dull.
Eg: 'can I bring cutlery into India?' is to me, a perfectly acceptable question from a traveller who is already told not to bring shampoo, shower gel or any other toiletries in their hand luggage. Cutlery can be seen as a dangerous item' and it could be interpreted as meaning 'do you need to have it in the hold, or can you bring it in your hand luggage'. For another thing, bringing cutlery with you may not mean you want to offend a restaurateur by wipping out your own from your handbag! It may simply be intended for a present, to feed a child or to use at airports...
Similarly 'do you have perfume?' doesn't necessarily mean 'does it exist?' but may invite a response such as 'yes, this type, this type and that type' (i.e., which brand/name of perfume do you have).
If I was the one asking the question and got that type of answer (obviously, it's a fake response, and I understand that), I would just tell them to get a life and answer the damn question!
