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!"

I didnt hear thisbut my cousin did - he'd nipped into some tourist information office in Dublin with flyers for his band and he heard this American say to the girl behind the counter:
tourist - err, excuse me miss?
assistant - yes sir?
t - where can i find me some lapreeshians
a - i'm sorry sir, could you repeat that?
t - you know, lapreeshians
a - i'm sorry sir i dont. what do they look like?
t - aww come on, lapreeshians? you know, the little guys who look after their crocks of gold. (leprechauns)
my cousin laughed in this blokes face, as did all the people who worked in the shop
