Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie 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.

Again more stupidity than ignoranceMy parents used to run a restauraunt/ function place. Anyone who has ever worked around food will know that it is a very tense atmosphere. I was about 11 at this point, and used to help out a lot with simple tasks- running and fetching etc, and so I was privy to some of the most amazing displays of idiocy on both the chefs and the customers part.
The one that sticks in my mind the most, was the young trainee chef who had been given a job on the understanding that he was nearly qualified, and that he would stick to the simplest of tasks until he was fully competent. In the midst of a hectic dinner for forty, my mother asked him to prepare the toast for pate, the simplest task that can be imagined. When she looked over next, he was buttering it. But in his nervousness he was not merely buttering one side, he had buttered both sides. And indeed the crusts on the sides as well
