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!"

Stupid at touristsQuite a few years ago myself and a few mates were standing in the playground one morning at school when a large bus turned up. One of my friends informed the rest of us that is was the German exchange students. I decided it would be a brilliant idea for us to give them a warm North East welcome so turned to a not so bright friend and dared him to ask them all 'Hoo vun ze vor?'.
He laughed and shook his head, replying 'Nah, it probably means fuck off in german or something.'
Genius.
Even more genius is it took repeating the phrase four more times until he caught up.
He's probably dead now.
