Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

I'm an idiot in my own countryRecently relocated to the American South, I once stopped just short of asking a friend if the nearby Air Force Base was there during the Civil War.
"What? You don't remember General Lee's famous dogfight with Grant?"
