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!"

Another Seppo Incident
This took place in July, a few years ago. I am in Sydney, Australia, Southern Hemisphere.
Mercan Colleague in Ohio: So, is it hot there in Ostrellya?
Strangey: No, it's winter at the moment.
Mercan: Jeesh. So what month is it then, if its winter?
Strangey: Pfft
