What astonishingly stupid stuff have you overheard people saying? Tell us, and tell the world.

I ain't fick innit
A friend of mine came up with the following -
"Isn't Kings Lynn in London?"
"Where do flies come from?"
"What's 'a quater of a million' in numbers?"
Did I forget to mention she's eighteen years old? Now when someone is being thick, we say they did "a Becki". Woops, there goes my attempt at keeping her identity a secret.
----------------------
Another friend of mine, who's in his twenties, did a Becki. It took me about half an hour to convince him that spiders have eight legs. The conversation kicked of thusly -
Me - But spiders aren't insects are they?
Him - What are you talking about?
Me - ... Spiders... they're arachnids, not insects.
Him - *blank stare*
Me - Spiders have eight legs...
Him - ... ... What?
Me - They have eight legs.
Him - ... Naaaaaah!
This went on for a while. However, because he wouldn't take my word for it, I resorted to getting a picture of one and made him count the legs with me. Even then he didn't look entirely convinced.
----------------------
Finally, not someone saying something stupid as such, but just being plain thick. I went to school with a girl, named Jane, who we managed to convince that Marmite was mined in Chesire. Dumb ginger cow.
