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!"

American Lady: "Wow, ok, like, what are you studying?"
Me: "Pharmacology"

Me: "I see."

This was just last week, open day at uni, at the lifts. We have 2 lifts. One on the left, one on the right. The left display says "5" and the right display says "3".
This American kid is with his dad. he says, word for word, the following:
"Man let's just take the stairs, it's on the 53rd floor"
To be fair to the poor guy the displays are right next to each other...
