What's the stupidest thing you've heard?

DrJazzTap · February 2016

Okay, I'm not super intelligent or anything.
It's just I've heard two things recently, both of which flabbergasted me.
Things you'd expect to be common knowledge.
So I'd like some affirmation that it's not just me.

First one. A friend's co-worker (a lady in her 50's) said that the reason for the different time zones was due to the fact that each country has it's own SUN. Yes really.

Secondly my co-worker chipped in on a conversation about the royal mint. In reference to them issuing a new £2 coin to commererate something. She said "don't be stupid they won't do that. As we don't have any money at the moment".......

So because of possible budget cuts and measures to cut back. The royal mint is just going to close it's doors.

All of this reminded me of this sketch from jamm by Chris Morris.

The key point is these people will vote in the EU referendum.....not to mention they more than likely put the Tories in power

Sadly, most of the things I could post in this thread came from my wife.

As a result, I'm going to be quiet. Not because she might read it, but because it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that you guys might meet her one day, and I could do without the expense of a divorce.

A mate of mine quite seriously thought there were two moons - one you see at night and the other that you sometimes see in the daytime. He was a footballer, mind, so maybe not so surprising

Good practice for exercising moderation...

A ginger Welsh female flatmate of mine at university was a lovely but naive girl. When she asked why bacon had different tastes, I convinced her that it's because some pigs are born smoked and some are born unsmoked. She believed this for some years.

Well, there's been politicians and other EU wallahs on the radio recently, probably too many to mention

A lad I worked with used to come out with some corkers.
He once asked me where do egg whites come from?
He once asked if the best way to peel a orange was with a spoon???
He once asked a customer if bomfire night was at the end of October!
He once asked me if I think he would like asparagus.
He once asked me if clementines were spicy?

Crackers I'm sure more will come to me later.

My sister's (now ex) boyfriend stayed over for the first time and wanted to take a shower. He asked how to use the shower and she said just use the tap on the left to turn it on, one way is bath one way is shower (it'll be obvious) and the tap on the right is for temperature.

So first he goes to the toilet, then after that she hears the taps running for a while.

Then he comes and tells her it isn't working.

She goes in to help out.

He's using the taps in the sink, wondering why water is coming in to the sink and not coming out of the shower.

There are clearly two taps in the bath/shower.

I wish this was made up but it is real.

He was sober at the time.

I still don't understand how or why. I've tried and I just can't.

When someone found out I was Jewish: "Is it true they cut your cocks off when you are born?".

Why do you need an amplifier if the guitar's electric?

Why isn't it the same time in New York as it is in the UK?

Pretty much anything George Galloway's said. Or written. Or thought.

There's a man who lives in the sky that no one has ever seen but we must live in constant fear of him and live our lives to please him so when we die we can go and live in his house (unless you're gay, an unmarried mother or anyone else that doesn't follow the batshit rules).

I heard someone claim that moving abroad wouldn't mean you were a migrant.
