Inspired by Jazz_'s blog entry (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=9446) what unbelievably stupid things have you heard people say?
To quote some greatly funny ones from the comments section
From Dark Muse
I use to go camping when I was younger up near the coast. The beach was in walking distance to many of the campsistes and the campground is called Bodega Dunes, becasue of the sand dunes.
And this woman acutally asked one of the rangers
"Can't you do something about all this sand?"
Than once when I was trail riding up in Lake Tahoe and there were these rock formations, and the woman in front of me said:
"How do you think all these rocks got here like that? Do you think they brought them in with a helicopter?"
From Aunt Sheckly
Around here, the gold label benchmark for stupidity (a pit into which ALL of us occasionally
may fall) was actually overheard at a supermarket deli counter.
Customer: "I'd like that ham cut on
the thin side."
Deli clerk (picking up and examining
the hunk o' ham): "Which is the
thin side?"
One infinitley stupid thing I heard from this one women whom I didn't know whilst standing in some line was that people never saw the world in color until they watched The Wizard of Oz. Hmmm, so I guess the world before 1939 was colored-blind right? Wow, Van Gough and Monet must've been pretty boring in black-and-white. Also, I guess the creators at MGM seemed to have some kind of divine knowledge, being able to unlock man's ability to see in color. :crash:
