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!"

not me but a friendwas living in some god forsaken midwest American town for a couple of months... just to see what it was like
he was asked, not once, but frequently, "where are you from?"
a straighforward question with a straighforward answer, "Ireland."
the next question was the one he found harder to answer; "how long did it take you to drive here?"
after the scond or third time here he started to answer, "about 4 decades, i cycled across the Bearing Straits"
no-one batted an eyelid
