Stupid things YOU'VE said!
Okay, I know this is a spin-off thread. But I think it could turn out better than stupid things said by classmates, French, or teachers.
As for me, it would have to be when I denied I had a lisp...
"I don't have a lishtp! lispth! Lishtp! Argh....lisshp!"

Anytime I say 'bugger' you know I just screwed something up really badly. Usualy my stupidity is slapstick though.
I like acting stupid, it's quite fun.

*Said in the middle of an RPG*
Friend: The marks read 'Earth, Fire, Wind, Water.'
Me: Its the four major elephants!
*Also in an RPG, after bursting into a shelter in full power armor*
Me: Don't worry! I mean you no home!
Being honest today
Friend: "Dude, I called your phone and someone picked up and they where talking in some different language. What the hell?"
Me: "Oh, what did they say?"

"Nah, don't worry, it's safe. I've done it like this before" I said this mere seconds before lighting a pile of gunpowder with the remains of my lit cigarette. *POOF* Bright flash, no more eyebrows and 2nd degree burns to my left hand. By way of explanation (not excuse) I was pretty high at the time. I looked like Wile E. Coyote after one of own bombs blew up in his face. The fact I was 26 at the time makes it even more embarassing.

Everything I wrote on my exam paper today was stupid. I did terribly, which is a shame because I did so well on the other exams. The exam was English Lit, a critical analysis of Tennyson's "In Memoriam of A.H.H." an examination of how conflict led to tragedy in "Othello" and the use of characterization in Dicken's "Great Expectations." I'm very disappointed that I didn't do at least Dicken's better, but I didn't like the question on "Othello."

A conference was being held for blind ppl in my college. A blind man came up to me with his ( wife, and asked me where was the student centre... although I was saying this to his wife, passers by thought it quite funny when I said...do ya see that building over there!!
Me: I never say anything stupid!!! How dare you suggest that!!!
Parent: Get plates for you and your little brother.
Me: *reaches for plates* How many do I need?
Me: *on exam* ...skepticalness...
Me: Help! Help! I'm going to drown! *while swimming furiously in the 4-ft-deep end of the pool*
Me: *At the end of nearly every sentence*...and that's not a good thing. (i.e. 'Then a nuclear bomb would explode, and lots and lots of people would die, and that's not a good thing.')
Me: *in my 30th post* Greetings! I welcome your new nation to General! Myself being a new player... well I'm not still new, am I?
I'm the epitome of stupidity. :D

Me, to my Mum when I was 8 years old and I was pretty sure I was gonna die from a chronic medical condition:
"Why don't you love me?"
Stupid because I was right, and I called her on it. Stupid because when I called her on it, she got angry. Stupid because at 8 years old, it's something I think I'd rather not know was true.

A bit of background: Universal opened their Universal Studios Japan theme park here in Osaka a few years ago. My best friend (B.) and I both have yearly passes.
We went for my birthday a few months ago. I pulled out my wallet, handed the pass to the gate attendant, and picked up a copy of that days schedule. Right after we passed through the ticket gate, I put the pass in my wallet, in my left hand. Then I put that day's show schedule in my wallet pocket with my right . Not feeling the wallet there I turned around to B. and said "Damn! I think someone just took my wallet!"
He looked at me for a few seconds and said "I see him."
"Where? Where?!?"
He then reached over, took my wallet from my left hand and put it in my right hand.
OOppsie.
NERVUN's post reminds me of another good one. I had just started playing Empire of the Petal Throne. I was a low level character, on a dungeon crawl with a pretty high level party. We encountered a party of 100+ Ssú (http://www.tekumel.com/world_nonhumans12.html) (nasty malelovent non-human race, often powerful magicians). My lowly character happened to have an awesome dexterity, and had the first move.
So I said "I draw my sword and prepare to give battle", expecting the powerful magicians in the party to wipe the floor.
Unfortunately I didn't have the experience to know what Ssú were, and assumed, with large numbers like that, they must be minor monsters.
The magicians teleported the rest of the party out. I was thanked for "recovering the retreat". That character did go down in party legend as Han "Never tell me the odds" Solo. Him, and a few others of the same stripe earned me a pin badge with the same quote on it, that I wore to every session. :D
once, when asked to name the 3 blood vessels, i said 'arteries, veins and caterpillars'

Q. - What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies?
A. - "Hold my beer and watch this!"
:p
Seriously, though. If I posted everything I've ever said that was dumb, it'd crash the forums permanently. :headbang:

Reminds me of one a few years ago. Before classes one morning, I was sitting around in the teachers lounge at my previous English school. Most of the other teachers were Brits and Aussies, who knew me as a good ole boy from Texas. I was hunched over a set of class files, when someone brought up the movie Deliverance. Without thinking, all of a sudden, "Squeal like a piggy, boy!" popped out of my mouth. The looks that brought. :D

Would people be interested in participating in a thread where we share the stupidest thing we ever wrote in a thread on NationStates?
I have said some pretty dumb and outrageous stuff whilst in the heat of the moment in some of the debates I have had with people on here.
Can't actually remember anything specific though.

In a lecture on marketing we were talking about basic market ecconomics and the discussion got round to why people actually have to go out and work for money. I got picked to answer a question about why people don't get paid for sleeping in bed all day - thinking on my feet I replied: in paid employment people get paid for providing something that other people want where as nothing ever gets produced in my bed...
...strangely some girls in the class found this quite funny...

Not that you have done this, but IMO Claiming to be what one is not - then acting abused when caught out is probably the MOST stupid thing someone can do without getting Forumbanned...

Keep in mind I was home schooled until grade 11 and about as naive as they come..and SHY
but back in high school I had a chemistry class with my boyfriend at the time.
We were doing an experiment and Chris (the boyfriend) and I were partners. In part of the experiment we had to feel the product between our fingers and document what it felt like...
So after all the students are finished and everyone is just sitting down, (I was just finishing cleaning up the lab station before sitting down) and I yell out,
"Chris, we forgot to touch and rub!"
Me and my friends tend to get what I call "verbal dyslexia":
Me: *shows a picture I drew of teletubbies having gay sex*
Friend: *says something about the sun and hills getting involved*
Me: You realize the baby's a sun, right?
<long pause>
Friend: You mean the sun's a baby.
Me: Shutup.
Also, me and my best friend talk about locket raunchers a lot.
... and there are more but I don't remember them right now.

I can think of lot's of things one might reasonably say to *you* in that situation, but "You don't have the balls" is not at all reasonable. :D

I told a friend about some of the problems between me and my other friend. Turns out that the first friend is a big mouth. I was thoroughly embarrassed, and now disgusted by my first friend. The first friend still isn't able to fathom the possibility that he had made a mistake - and I'm not the only victim.

Back in collage, I was living with my boyfriend and storytelling a White Wolf Vampire game. I baked a lemon meringue pie as munchy food and the two of us set off in his car. We hit something with the car causing the contents of the pie to slide into my lap and slowing us down even farther as we had already left latter than necessary to get there on time. When we arrived I apologized, with a perfectly straight face, for showing up “late, wet, and sticky.” Sadly it took me a few minutes to realize why people were snickering.

"Yes" at the interview for my last employer (note this was suggested by my good friend, who also worked there).
Bad job.
I can't do french, its like a foreign language to me
Referring to a piece of Brass music with an 16 beat note at the end, I said to a mate "It is so long, you could die at the end of the life" meaning bar.
Four years of ribbing for that one. FOUR YEARS!!! I was only 9 years old for gods sake!!
