Examples of stupidity.

My old grandma loved watching sport on the tv. However, she used to say she just didn't like cricket. When asked why, she explained she didn't understand how they knew who was in which team as they all weore the same white uniform. Bless her. Still miss her x
 
I love this thread
On u tube there are collections of clips with a similar title in which people actually do things as stupid as the things they say and think as told on here.
But none makes me laugh as much as r.sole's last line about the lady who saw the monkey with a tail
 
After being the victim of many false truths (such as PG Wodehouse being the founder of the British police and the leader of ISIS being the 2016 Times Person of the Year), I like to sell mistruths as fact and eventually watch them become accepted as fact. There ie a small growing pocket of Ireland that believes Granny Smith apples are named such as they were grew from a tree that was planted over the ashes of Granny Smith.

Didn't "Not The Nine O' Clock news" do something similar with a Flange of Baboons as a collective noun?
 
back in my school days Manchester used to be 'advertised' as a 'Nuclear Free City', to the extent there was sign on Oldham Road at he boundary of Failsworth and Newton Heath which was along the lines of 'Welcome to Manchester. A Nuclear Free City'

A girl in my class had obviously seen the sign and taken note.

A few weeks later in a class, the topic was the possibility of World War 3 starting, and its outcome and affects. Things were going well until the above mentioned girl pipes up with 'What's everyone worrying about, we'll be okay as Manchester is a nuclear free city'

thing is this girl wasn't thick, and was considered to be in the top ten, academically, in our school year
 
More embarrassing than stupid.
I was on a flight to Los Angeles. I didn't have much conversation with the guy next to me as he spoke little English and even that came with a very strong Spanish accent. My linguistic skill stalls at "Dos Cervezas por favor".
He did enquire my business in LA, "I explained I was a tour guide and meeting an incoming flight from Auckland".
He informed me he was an environmental scientist, bound for Guatemala and added, what I thought was "I'm a tit man". A little surprised at this confession, I replied "I generally look at the legs first then the face". He had a puzzled look, then, reached into his case a pulled out a map and said, "Here I am working", pointing to Lake Amatitlan.
 
When I first moved to East Yorkshire, I was working on a production line chatting to a few of the ladies who were intrigued about my accent. A lad was clearly peeved that I was getting some attention and thought he'd have a go.

"Why - where are you from?"

I explained that I was from Manchester and had come here working initially but had moved to stay with my partner.

"It's shit there."

I was a bit shocked at his reaction and asked him what it was that he thought was shit about Manchester. I was genuinely intrigued why he'd say this and wondered if he'd had a bad experience or whatever. I asked him why he thought the whole city was shit.

"I went there for a weekend a few months ago but didn't know anyone."
 
trying to order a full english in vegas i started by asking for a cup of tea, the waiter rattled off about ten flavours of tea before i stopped him and said i'll just have a cup of bog standard tea please, he said he'd have to ask in the kitchen if they had bog standard, when my full english arrived it consisted of a fried egg topped with a strawberry, what looked like bacon fries, some green stuff, a slice of lemon and a piece of orange!

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
