EDIT BY MOD: This is a thread for ALL the dumbest/stupidest things you've ever heard, been asked by others, or asked yourself. Don't start a new thread on this topic.



For me, I dunno yet. But I've come across a lot of dumb statements. I just can't remember though.

a girl asked this ATENISTA (a person studying in the ATENEO school): "why are you called 'Pambato ng Atenista'? where do you study anyway?". effed nuts!

LOL. haha

anyways, i've heard alot of dumb statements, but.. i couldn't remember it at all..

a

"whats that kind of bread called? you know it looks like a stick??" that was my friends apartmentmate haha

i was talking to my roommate last year about how the closest mall was an outdoor mall and his response was "so, do the stores not have roofs, or something?"
i didnt even know how to respond to him -___-

"I think gay marriage should be between a man and a woman." ~Arnold The Governator

when I heard that I was like... whoa! laughed my buttocks off.

On "Meet the Press" in March 2003, Cheney blithely dismissed Tim Russert when the host asked what would happen in Iraq if "we're not treated as liberators but as conquerors." Would the American people be "prepared for a long, costly and bloody battle with significant American casualties?"

Not to worry, said Cheney: "I don't think it's likely to unfold that way, Tim, because I really do believe we will be greeted as liberators."

Good Ol' Arnold.

people always ask me, "What was the secret to your success here in America?" And I always say that, No. 1, it's the land of opportunity, that anyone can make it in this country if you work hard." But by working hard, what do we mean by that? That means not just working, physically working, but it means that you make an effort to become part of America; that you learn the language, that you learn the history of America, and that you learn the way Americans do business, and you have to become part of America.

And that is very difficult for some people to do, especially, I think, for Mexicans, because they are so close to their country here, so they try to stay Mexican but try to be in America, so there is this kind of back and forth. And what I am saying to the Mexicans is, you've got to go and immerse yourself, and assimilate into the American culture, and become part of the American fabric. That is how Americans will embrace you.

From Arnold's speech in Chinatown a few weeks back. Jay Leno mentioned it on the Tonight Show. xD

I know it's hard for immigrants, but I just thought it was funny that he mentioned just the Mexicans. >.<

"Is Asia somewhere in Europe?"

Wanna bet?

Haha I was serving this guy in my dad's shop and this customer asks me, "In the vegetarian fried rice, does that have chicken in that?" I'm like O.o.... "Um... no."

Haha this annoying ditsy girl in my class asked me once, "Hey if you're chinese but you're pale does that then make you white?" =_=
Haha said girl also said before to a black kid, "If you didn't stand outside so much all the time your skin wouldn't be so tanned." *cricket chirps* "Um... he's from Africa." "Really? But that can't be right I thought Africa was covered in snow!" "Um... I think you mean Antartica."

Haha I hear too many stupid things. It's hard to remember them all.

Well, I have had alot of stupid statements thrown at me or to be nicer unintelligent ones.
Once in HS I was sitting next to this one guy in English and we were writing a paper,
he turns around and asks me.

"Hey how do you spell box again?"

Me: " You're kidding me..."

and just today me friend asked me.

"Wait, Does the moon rise in the daytime?"

Me:

*whack whack whack* You can see it in the daytime some times, But jesus man!

I'm watching CNN right now, and there's a lot of stupid being said...

"Wait, you're Chinese? I thought you told me you were Asian!"

I swear my "friend" asked me "Japan's in China,right?"

...me: jawdrops for 10 minutes.

I get that all the time.

I once had an arguement with a customer about how many donuts are in a dozen in a half. It lasted like 5 minutes before she realized there are 18 donuts in a dozen and a half and not 16. She's too embarassed to come back.

"Oh, so you're Chinese. Are you from Japan?"

OH I finally remembered.. I watched a video about George Bush when he was commenting on Sovereignty.. one word, WOOOOOOWWWWWWW. I'll try to find the link to the video and post it up later.

Bush on Tribal Sovereignty

i work at a bakery, and one of the new girls asked what we did with the bread we don't sell by the end of the day. I told her that ppl from charities come collect most of it. Then she goes "oh righhtt....to send to the poor kids in africa yeah?""

Heard this from a girl on reality tv. She was quoting this from a French artist..
"Suicide is the highest form of artistry, i'm an artist so..."

not really dumb, more like troubling but thought i'd share..

Hm...the most recent one I can think about is the time when I told my friend a riddle.
And she had to ask a bunch of questions to put the pieces together.
It had something to do about a man and an elavator, and one of the question she asked was,
"WAIT! Is he solar powered?!"
Then I was like, "wtfreak? how is a normal human being solar powered?"

There's plenty more, but I just can't remember most of them. Hehe~

"If this is secondary, would first be firstdary?"

"I thought cows were males too."

"A solid is something you poke through and doesn't bleed."

"How many straps does a bra have?"

"Pocahontas had babies with white and black polka dot skin?"

"That's not blue. It's blue-ish lavender."

this girl in my residence hall came into my room, sat on my bed, then proceeded to ask me:
"so are you asian? or korean?"

as my roommate almost keeled over and died from laughter and i gave her this dumbfounded look, she took that opportunity to then ask:
"well if you`re korean, are you really from korea then?"
