The stupidest thing you can remember someone saying to you?

[Japher]

Yeah, one time while I was in line at the grocery store a bag boy came in, after helping some elderly women into her car, and hollard "Does anyone own the white Chevy that is double parked in front of the handicap space!"

Some guy hollard back; "No. I think the dealership left it there..."

Anywho

My lil sis snuck a license plate frame onto the front of my car that says "Proud brother of Anne". I have been asked about 5 times, "Whose Anne?"

My sister... duh

When I was at high school this bimbo (great lookin' too) asked our English teacher:

"Mr ******, is there quicksand in real life?"

Actually, here's one that happened this year. One day this past winter it was about 20 below and in my afternoon tutorial the students were arguing about religions. A couple of the guys in the class are Jewish and wear the Jewish skull cap and are obviously Jewish (except one has red hair - I've never seen a Jewish person with red hair before).

I (the teacher) sort of sat back and tried to think about nice things, when one girl, after a barrage of critical comments about religion in general, asked one of the skull cap wearers, "Are you Jewish?"

Everyone just looked at her. So I said, "No he just wears that hat all the time".

Then the Jewish guy said, "yeah, it keeps out the cold."

People kept laughing about it for the rest of the class, so we didn't get a lot done.

One of my all-time favorites is an interview of Charles Barkley from an All-Star game in the early 90's. A local woman reporter said the following:

"I'm here with perrenial all-star Charles Barkley. Being such a great player, you must have won a lot of championships. What's that like?"

Well, this might take some knowledge of NYC geography but, Madison square Garden is on 34th street and 7th avenue, while the Empire state building is on 34th street and 5th avenue, east of the garden.

I was on the observation deck of the Empire State Building when i oevrheard some tourist looking west, trying to figure out what all the buildings were.

one points to a large ciruclar building (Madison square Garden) nad wonders what it could be. Another person in the group thinks it might be Madison Square Garden, when another member says:

"It could not be Madison Square Garden, the building is round."

That was about 8 years ago, yet I have neevr forgotten it.

In my school, one day the Teahcer was yelling at the class because everyone (but me..) had done poorly in thir social studies exam. He would not say who did well, but that he was angry at the class. He was done yelling, so he decided to move on and said "anyway...", then a fellow student (saluditorian of the class, mind you) called out "Are you talking about Annie?" The teacher just stared at him dumbfounded.

Sure about it?

Clearly. Also, computer CPU speeds are measured in Hz (MHz, GHz, whatever) - which stands for frequency. In physics, frequency measured in Hz means how many times a second does something happen. And this is why 2 GHz / sec isn't correct... the GHz thing already implies that it happens in seconds.

I'd love it if my computer had performed at 500mhz per second.

While in undergrad I was in this Causes of War class. There was this student, Julian, who was a total numbskull. Anyway, one our midterm, question 60 was 'Fill in A, this is a free point' (I guess it was basically to keep the number of questions even). In our review class, Julian raises his hand, and says:

"What if you didn't fill in A for question 60?"

I thought the prof was going to have a heart attack! He said "What do you mean you didn't fill in A?"


Also one of my friends was told that 'Hitler was World War 1'

"I'm an architect, I can walk!"

A friend from college, shaking off assistance in walking back to the dorm while *extremely* drunk.

But I'm guess drunk quotes don't really count - that could be it's own category.

Yeah, I had a conversation with someone who was convinced the US installed Hitler as leader in Germany.
