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!"

While in Florence a few years ago ....one fat American came into a Cafe/Bar and said "Do you have any Phone Cards?" where upon the man behind the counter, being Italian and speaking mostly the Italian language, shrugged his shoulders and indicated that he didn't understand. The fat American then proceeded to say much slower and in a much louder voice "PHONE CARD". Italian shrugs again. Our fat American then wanders off frustrated with the fact that these Itialians don't understand her language. The Italian man grins at his mate, pisses himself laughing and says "stupid Americans!" in perfect english. I love Italians.
