What would happen if...

This is a question I'm asked all the time with insane expectations, by the little one.

~ Mommy, what would happen if the orange towel was on the floor? 
Ummm... the orange towel would be on the floor. 
~ No, but what would HAPPEN? 

~ Mommy, what would happen if I was in time out, my brudder was in time out and my udder brudder was in time out, and you too? 
Well, kiddo, that would be nice for me.
~ No, but what would HAPPEN?

~ What would happen if a police arrest himself?
They can't do that, if they had to be arrested another policeman would have to do it.
~ No, but what would HAPPEN? 

~ What would happen if you drove daddy's car?
Umm.... I would drive it I guess?  Is this a trick question?
~ No, but what would HAPPEN?

Pretty much all of these result in me staring, deer-in-the-headlights type of stare, at my youngest while he asks me over and over "but what would happen?"  I am not sure what the answer should be, or what he expects to hear, or truthfully, what on earth he is really asking.  Either way, it makes up for about 40% of the qustions I get from him.  What would HAPPEN?
