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 tourists, b3tardsOK, there's a little voice telling me "leave it alone... leave it alone" (makes a nice change from "burn it") but, sod it, I'm going to say this anyway.
If you actually read Huyanga's post it's obvious that the humour is that the Japanese girl was asked if she had been to the States and replied "No, but I've been to Hawaii". It is thus implicit in her statement that she does not believe Hawaii to be a part of the States, the States, one assumes, being short for The United States of America. And so we can clearly see that the girl in question either misunderstood the question or did not believe Hawaii to be a part of the USA.
In summary: schnuff and especially cragett you've made yourself look somewhat like tits.
Edit: sorry cragget, missed the apology. Statement regarding similarity to milk producing appendages retracted.
