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!"

OK I was the tourist..Was staying in lovely rural Michigan, and decided to make the most if the dirt roads which are very pleasant to go for a run on.
Happily jogging along, and a big ole redneck guy in a big ole truck pulls up alongside me (his beard alone was astounding) and says "Are you alright miss??? Is somebody chasin ya??" naturally i laughed, but he sounded so concerned as he again asked if i was being pursued. "no..i am jogging"..he muttered something and went on his way.
next day, off i jog, and am asked by 2 very sweet mericans (or merkins, as i call them now) who stopped their car and asked if i knew where such and such a place was...in my poshest most british voice, i replied.."i'm terribly sorry, but i am not from around here"..ahhh they giggled as they drove off.
