This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

my wife used to chef in a local cafe/bistro type thing
...run by an italian/south african (tended more towards the stereotypical s'affrikan in his politics though...which when you think about it, aint all that far away from stereotypical or at least historical italian..).

Anyway. he has hee haw to do with the tale.

Which involved a bit of a golly of a waitress, asking mrs no if she knew how they got the anchovies into the jars so neatly - "do they just put a bit of food in the bottom and then shut the jar really quick?"

she never got an order wrong though to be fair...

I thought that, but
suspect it's some local slang for stupid.

Seems a bit of a risky one though, doesn't it?

no, it's not...
...not racist at all, it is indeed a local slang for "a female of dubious intelligence/awareness".

if however anyone decides/has decided for themselves contrary to this truth - well...your issue...

And this isn't racist at all.
Oh deary me not by a long chalk, no. Not at all.
