Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

Emerald Isle
Visiting Blarney Castle, we all took turns at kissing the famous stone. On the way down, we convinced a whole busload of Merkins that they "never, ever wash the stone" and they were ripe for all kinds of "hepatitis... herpes... AIDS" if they even so much as puckered up to it. They fled in terror, flared checked trousers flapping in the breeze.
It was only in the pub that night that we were told that the local kids take great pleasure in breaking into the place in the dead of night and pissing against the stone.
GARRRRRGH!
Stupid tourists? Yup, that's us.
