(NB: This was asked about 7 years ago by a girl in my RE class).

"When the pope dies do they the Holy Spirit in a cage until another is elected?"

(Different person different time)

"Well obviously the chances are 50:50. I means its either going to happen or not happen"

(Different person)

"Well they are either gonna come, or not gonna come"

I am a male. My male roommate one day walked into my room and started the conversation with, "So, I heard you going to the bathroom last night."

"Are you trying to get smart?"

This has been asked by countless adults when I was a youth. My common response, which got me into trouble, was "Of course. I'm not trying to be like you and stay stupid."

(In an RE class we were doing an "introduction to philosophy" thingy)

[Teacher: ]"Aquinas was correct in saying that God was the prime mover"

"Could it be possible that he was wrong?"

[Teacher:] "No"

(In a 'sex-ed' class taken by a right old hag)

"Having sex with a condom is like eating a Mars Bar with the wrapper still on"

(Being told about drugs in a class)

"Cannibis users might become addicted to it and might have to resort to stealing cars to fuel their habit" (admittedly, this wasn't teacher, but it wasn't corrected and the person who said it was told it was a 'good point')

(A randomer approached me in the street when I was about 16)

"I have nothing against gays, but stay away from my children."

(My flat-mate about two months ago)

"Freddie Mercury was gay? Really?"

"do they have cameras in Ireland?"
"Ireland, cool. how long did it take to drive here?" (i was in Pittsburgh)
"where does the Heysham ferry go to?"

(A randomer approached me in the street when I was about 16)

"I have nothing against gays, but stay away from my children."


omg, i nearly wet myself laughing!

"Ireland, cool. how long did it take to drive here?" (i was in Pittsburgh)

"Peggy's going to take us to America on her motorbike"
-my cousin, in Galway.

"Are you trying to get smart?"

I LOVE It ! lol

1)This is more stupid than odd,

"Your husband is from Chile? In Latin America? Wow...can you speak Latin too?"

That's like in highschool, I overheard some of the really ditzy popular girls talk about what language they were taking. One said "I'm taking Latin, so when I go to Greece this summer I'll be able to understand everybody!"

Wrong country...

Hee.

Try standing around some sailors on a Navy ship, in the Eastern Med, and overhear one of them saying, "I can't wait until we get to Rhodes, so we can see the Colossus. It's one of the Seven Wonders of the World."

roflmao! you're awesome

Never trust a big butt and a smile

"You're from Hawaii? How do you keep the rain out of the grass shacks.?"

"How do you like the United States so far"

"Waddaya mean you don't know how to surf, you're from Hawaii ain't cha?"

Seriously...

"Waddaya mean you don't know how to surf, you're from Hawaii ain't cha?"

Seriously...

Try being half-Korean, half-white for a change. Everyone asks me, "are you from Hawaii?" or "are you from Samoa?"

and then all the dumb questions you get on top of it...

During my stint at the local ski resort.

*me standing at the bottom of the hill*
Where's the hill?
me: the parking lot?

Setting: Physics class, where we are being taught that sometimes Greek letters are used as quantity symbols.

Girl sitting near me- "Are there still Greek people?"

You may have guessed that she wasn't the brightest crayon in the box...

Speaking of physics, someone wanted to know why we haven't sent people into black holes. He said he wanted to be the first to "experience" it.

We were doing a section on the Holocaust. A Jewish person in my English class said, "I like seeing Holocaust movies, they're so fun to watch."

My Uncle (a damned know-it-all) stated quite clearly that 'we all know that petrol is an alcohol...' Didn't I just love pointing out that mistake :rolleyes:

A girl in my class at school asked me, during schooltime. "So you're Jewish... are Jews allowed to go to school?"

Some girl goes to me, "You remind me of myself when I was in elementary school." I'm 18 years old, and she's the same age LOL!

Hee.

Wrong country...

Weird... who could confuse Greece with the Vatican.

"The different planets are represented as colors in our dreams. Like green for Earth, red for Mars. I think Venus is yellow." -friend of mine describing dream astrology or some crap.

"What color is Uranus?" -my smartass reply. :)

"If you were waist deep in poop, and I was going to pee on you, would you duck?"

If it weren't for my horse, I would have never spent that year in college.---Go Lewis Black go!

I like doing this when im at a airport or something:

Your sitting in a stall in a bathroom and someone goes in the stall next to you. You say "oh...thats where that goes.."


Another thing i like saying is: that aint growing back.

"What's witchraft?" This was asked by my friend's girlfriend, who's 19.
"What country is Texas in?" I think most people know the answer to this one.
"Do you drive tractors to school in Texas?" I've also been asked if I rode horses, wore spurs and if the whole state was a desert. I'm not even Texan. I just live there. *Sighs* Seriously, Westerns should come with a warning statement that says "The following film in no way accurately reprents modern day Texas".
"I'm going overseas to Canada."

I was once in a doctor's waiting room waiting and the woman next to me turned and said, "Shame about the Titanic, isn't it?"

At a hotel front desk in Canada:

Q: What is your room rate?
A: $179.00 a night plus 17% tax
Q: Is that Canadian dollars or American dollars? (Why do they ask this stupidest of all questions?)
A: Canadian dollars of course.
Q: But the 17%, that's in American, right?
A: I beg your pardon?
Q: The tax is 17% American, not 17% Canadian, right?
A: .....

Which reminds me, on the cruise I went on recently, someone asked "Has this ship ever sank?"

ok ok-got another one
I work at a reservoir as a lifeguard, and a few people have asked me (and mind you these are full grown adults) "is this reservoir heated?"
I merely point to the sun and say "yes, all natural"
