Examples of stupidity.

More carelessness than stupidity.
A friend of mine in the 1980s had been going on about getting his Commodore 64 for Xmas for ages. Christmas came and went with very little mention of it.I was talking to his older sister who was back for Christmas from Uni and I found out why. On Christmas morning she was at the bottom of the stairs and was about to take her present, which was a bike that her parents had bought her to get to and from Uni, out for a test. She shouted upstairs "I take it you got your computer then" to him.
He said "Yes" and he showed her the box with the computer in it over the landing/bannister rail. He hadn't realised that his dad had opened the other end of the box to check the contents. Flying out came the machine, one bounce on the stairs and as she ducked it smashed behing her on the concrete step of the front door. She had a wicked sense of humour and told me she said "Well it was an 8-bit machine and now it's in 16 bits". She never mentioned how they went about repairing/replacing it.
 
A poster referred to Americans and full English breakfasts.

Anyone who's ever had a buffet breakfast in the US couldn't fail to notice the weird mixture of food items they put on the same plate. More than once people I've seen people piling on stuff like egg, bacon and sausage together with strawberries, kiwi fruit and melon, sometimes with a blob of whipped cream on top.

Having breakfast in a London hotel years ago I saw a woman order kippers. When they were brought to her the look on her face showed she didn't have a clue what they were and weren't what she was expecting. After a little hesitation she began spreading marmalade over them and tucked in.

IHOPs do a T bone steak with a breakfast along with pancakes and various sauces.
 
No, no and ergh no. The sea does not flow into a river. The tide may go into an area usually occupied by fresh water but it is not flowing, it is controlled by the moon and is tidal.
You're wrong musty. The Sea flows into the river Severn from the Bristol channel, The Severn Bore.


You are just a northern bore mate; )
 
About 1985, mrs KS and i went to Istanbul. Stayed in a basic hotel. Fine,with an oddity. There was a shower in our room with a power point on the wall. Someone had realised this was dodgy and put an elastoplast over the face of it. Mrs Ks is in the shower when there is a power cut and all goes black.
Me: "Be careful, don't touch that power point."
D'oh.
