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!"

Are there many kangaroos in Austria?I used to work in an Australian cafe in an American tourist town. Big wall painting of a map of Australia,pictures of kangaroos and koalas,gigantic Australian flag,Pavlovas and meat pies in the display cases...you get the idea.
One afternoon,a tourist couple came in,wandered up to the pastry case and surveyed it with scorn.
'These don't look *anything* like those nice pastries we had in Vienna!',announced the woman. 'And they call this an Austrian bakery!'
My co-worker and I explained,but only after we'd finished laughing.
