"Do you know what a thesaurus is?" "Yeah, it's a dinosaur."
That was one of my embarrassments when younger.

At school, someone said that if you shave your pubes they NEVER grow back. Nobody was willing to try it to see whether it was true.

Americans provide lots of fun online:

4th July:
"So what were the fireworks like there?"
"Um... we don't celebrate the 4th July."
"Why not?"
"Because it's an American holiday to remember your independence from the British."
"Yeah, so?"
"So why the hell would the British celebrate it?"
"You could at least have a fireworks show."

Thanksgiving:
"So was your turkey good?"
"Um... we don't celebrate Thanksgiving..."
