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!"

Paris, Texas.There's a rather sizeable city in Texas named Paris.
No justification needed. By the way, look through this thread, and honestly ask yourself if a person from another country would reasonably be asked to know about most of the various cities being mentioned. I'm betting that they wouldn't.
Tourists are truly stupid if they ask why they don't update Big Ben to a digital readout, not when they mispronounce whatever crazy-ass city name you happen to be in.
