Amazing displays of ignorance
Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Yanking my chain
Even after all these years, I am still aghast at the question I was asked by an earnest Minnesotan lady contemplating her first trip to London: she wanted to know whether we had flushing toilets in England. I considered several promising lines of sarcasm before realising that this could easily get out of hand (and I had to bear in mind that she was a friend of my mother's....not exactly politic) so I simply pointed out that yes, we'd had them for longer than the United States had been in existence.
