Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

When I was in the States
I loved speling my name to Americans as it's d, o, w, d, a, l, l but I have always said double l as the end bit which they don't use.
This story I realise is a bit shit, but I do know that in Cambridge there is a drink made from Tomato juice and Coke called the "Bloody Tourist"!
