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!"

Not me, but...Guaranteed Canadians will have the best stories. It's our official national sport.
A buddy of mine worked in a comic book shop in West Edmonton Mall, in Canada. If you don't know, Edmonton is about three hours north of Calgary, which is maybe another three hours north of the border with Montana.
So these two guys walked in one day, obviously high. "Golly," one says. "I never knew Montana was so big. How long do we have to drive north before we reach Canada?"
My friend replied, "Oh, another three hours or so," which would put them well out of reach of civilisation (unless you count oil rig workers).
Anyway, they paid for their purchase with American money and my friend pocketed the profits.
