This is a question 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.

Pretty sure this counts...
My mum's ignorance, but I think I win the prize for stupidity.

I was about 20. Home for the summer from uni. Just before leaving I had picked up a quarter of cheap, homegrown weed. It turned out to be pretty shit. Damp as fuck and gave you a headache when smoking it. So I tried to dry it over the only source of heat I had readily available in a vaguely private area - my computer fan.

My mum enters the room. She looks straight at the bag. I shit myself.

"Is that a dongle?"
"...what?"
"A dongle."

I look at her, incredulously.

"No.. that's called a stash."
"A what?"
"A stash."

She looks at me, puzzled. It dawns on her a half-second later. She raises her eyebrows and draws breath, as my stomach sinks as I realise what I've done.
