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.

Wales!
Way back in the mists of time when a much younger Mon was at secondary school a few select pupils were chosen to go on a weekend trip away with the history teacher to Wales to take in the historical sites and visit the place where the Prisoner was filmed. The group that went were all the top set but what they had in brains they actually lacked in common sense. One good example of this was Amy, a straight A student who was gullible, one of the group Darren knew this and thought he would have fun with her on the Friday before the trip.

Darren: You all ready to go yet?
Amy: Yup all packed
Darren: Have you had your money changed yet?
Amy: What?
Darren: Well Wales is another country isn’t it they have their own currency
Amy: Really?
Darren: Yup they trade in coins called the Lek. It’s actually spelt leek but you know how the welsh language is
Amy: Shit, I’d better get some
Darren: Remember to ask for the Welsh Leek when you go get your money changed!
(Amy wonders off to lesson and Darren chuckles to himself)

The problem is that Darren didn’t count on the woman at the bureau de change being a total spacktard and not paying attention to what was an obvious pisstake, poor Amy turned up to the minibus with her spending money split into half British pounds and half Albanian currency.

I would say that Darren felt bad but he didn’t. During the ride to wales he even convinced Amy that the sheep we saw on the hills were specialist ones that had longer right legs than left (Which was how they were able to stand on a hillside so easily).

ha, my dad used to tell us that about the longer legs and shorter legs
Except it wasn't sheep that had these, but haggis. And that the best way to catch a haggis was to chase it the other way round the hill, so that it would fall over and down the hill.

I never believed him though. Honest.

I also tried winding up my aunt in Scotland when we were due a visit (with Scotland being an independent country . . . is it better to get my british pounds changed before or after I cross the Scottish border?)
