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!"

Oh, another one I remember......Although I'm fairly sure it was a local. My mother and I were visiting the Japanese American National Museum, (http://www.janm.org/,) and we were in the wing detailing the WWII concentration camps when we overheard a horrified girl exclaim:
"Incarceration?!? Doesn't that mean they burned them?"
