I agree with 'the Ducks'. The English language gives us a wealth of words for speech: why do we have to restrict ourselves to 'said' and 'asked'?
There might be an interesting debate to have about rhetorical questions:
'Steve's just won the lottery. He's got a million pounds!'
'A million pounds!' he said.
'Steve's just won the lottery. He's got a million pounds!'
'A million pounds?' he asked.
Could 'said' and 'asked' be used the other way round in these examples?
