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!"

no greater giftwhen I was teaching in Tanzania, one of the african teachers we had got to know, Paul Shirema, came up to me (a boy) and my female teaching partner + several other girls from our group and told us enthusiastically that he was going to give us all his 'best cock' that night, and that a boy would bring it round (?)
(once we sorted out what he meant, we invited him and his wife to help eat it the next night - when the live chicken arrived later, we got a bit stuck, it worked out ok tho, 'nother story...)
