If he's got a good sense of humour, maybe try "well, it doesn't herd 
goats" - or something equally as ridiculous, and see if he picks up on 
how broad his question is.

If he doesn't have a good sense of humour, then maybe just ask some 
clarifying questions that point this out in a similar manner, along the 
lines of "well, that's a pretty broad question - did you have something 
more specific in mind?"
