Whilst in Canada on a snowboarding holiday
we bumped into some Americans and got chatting. They asked where we were from and I replied "England", to which they responded:
"So how did you get here, did you fly or drive?"
I really really had to stop myself just laughing in their faces.

Oh, and the other classic was the girlfriend of my exlandlord who really was thick as mince. She would sit in front of films like Goldfinger for half an hour before pointing at one of the henchmen and asking "Is he a goody or a baddy".
Her best moment though was when I informed her that I was a vegetarian. She responded, in all seriousness, with:
"So, do you eat potatoes then?"
