Examples of stupidity.

I used to share a house with a mate in Manchester 18 months or so before I moved away. When we weren't working, we smoked quite a bit of pot and would watch anything that involved good looking women - Thursday night was takeaway, Friends and Ally McBeal night for example.

We were watching MTV during the glorious autumn of 1999. Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Christine Aguilera, Shania Twain, TLC and others were all in the charts at that time. Shakira came on singing "Whenever, wherever". We'd been silent for quite a period of time and Leon broke the silence to casually say "She can't half dance for a girl with a wooden leg."

He had no reason to say this and I had no reason to question it. I moved away and was working stupid hours for the best part of a year and living in a hotel. I met my missus, had kids and life moved on.

At some point in my early days on here, there was a "Sexiest Women in Music" thread. A poster nominated Shakira. I replied basically saying "Good on you for looking past her disability."

Cue a shedload of replies asking me what the fuck I was on about. I explained that she had a wooden leg, my mate told me. Off Topic found it highly amusing as did Leon when I text him out of the blue to ask him why the fuck he'd told me that over 11 years earlier.

Weird, you ask for 'Full English' in a foreign country and then you're surprised that they don't know what the fuck you're talking about

With the amount of English people that visit Vegas every year you would expect the dumb fuckers to get clued up

Thats reminded me of a trip i had to Vegas a few years ago. We went for breakfast on the first morning in the Venetian and we were all sat down waiting to give our order. Our server was taking my brother in laws order who hadnt been to the states before. She asked him how he wanted his eggs cooking and he hesitated for a moment looking totally bemused. Responded after about 20 seconds of silence with 'medium rare please'. We were all in hysterics and the server tried to explain she wanted to know if he wanted fried, scrambled etc. Still take the piss out of him today about it.

well who wants them over done?
 
Hot off the press. Talking about Covid a few minutes ago with my niece when she mentioned that a Doctor Congo said that Ebola was almost eradicated.
When I asked who this Doctor Congo was she said she didn't know but it was on the news screen on the television.

When it eventually came on the bottom of the screen the news read DR Congo.

There you are she said.

Bloody fake doctors!
 
A few years ago I was in a delicatesan and asked the girl serving how much half a block of cheese under the counter would cost.

She said she could not tell me as she would need to cut it in two to find out.
