The stupidest thing you can remember someone saying to you?

[Vesayen]

Someone asked me today what year Jesus was born in.......

Completley seriously, and was surprised when I told him though we dont know exactly, its supposed to be 1.....

Their first guess was around 400 a.d........ I was quite literaly shocked speachless by the stupidity for a moment before I could respond.


This came to me as the stupidest thing I've heard someone say to me in a while, what about you?
























Yes I know it was proboably 4 b.c.-just share your memories of the stupidest thing you can remember someone saying to you!

While it wasn't said to me... I heard it at a press conference. One of The Chicago Cubs Relief Pitchers, Antonio Alfonseca has 6 fingers on each hand. While he was doing a press conference after the Cubs aquired him, one of the reporters actually asked the following question...

"Were you born that way"...

There was dead silence in the room... and then people couldn't help but start snickering, and then just laughing.

And the best part is... It was one of the local reporters for the SCORE, the Chicago Sports Radio station... so they play it all the time when they want to abuse the guy. I still can't help laughing every time I hear it.

Not said directly to me either...

Is your Sealtest (brand) butter made of seals, or something?

should have responded "no, but we make the seals eat it first to make sure that it isn't poisoned"

Once, in a debate match, my opponent's main point was "Rocks are people too."

Were you debating with some crazy Environmentalist Vegen PETA member?

Yo Mao, which uni did you end up with?

Ted I thought that was a snake wrapped around your pant leg.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that one...

A friend of mine (we don't really ever hang out, but I'd still call him a friend) once tried to tell everyone that Hummers could drive 30 mph under 6 feet of water.

We still give him **** about it.

This phenomenon happens all the time here in Shanghai: I (a large white person) point at something, e.g. a vegetable, and ask someone in Chinese "What do you call that?" Then they give the answer in English, e.g. "A carrot."

Like I need to ask a Chinese person how to say something in my native tongue.

For some reason, this happens frequently, with strangers as well as friends. One of my American friends calls this "a Sprite", from a time when this kind of exchange occurred over a bottle of said beverage.
