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!"

Too many to list...But a favourite game of mine overseas to play, "Spot the American".
Being Canadian, I sometimes get mistaken for being from the US - when I correct the person, they can't apologize fast enough.
I did spend a nice dinner in Paris next to four US people, saying some of the stupidest, dumb-ass things ever, then capping it off by not noticing the "No Credit Cards" sign (in English) and being unable to pay their bill - classic!
