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!"

Revolution, you say?Me and my friend were sightseeing in Paris.
I had studied the French Revolution for a year during my history A-level, and as we wandered round, I explined all about the daring attack of the Bastille, how the fortress was a representation of Tyrannical power over the poor and down-trodden, etc etc and above all; how they TORE IT DOWN.
We reached the square where it once stood, we took pictures of the monument that now marks the spot, and two hours later:
"When are we going to go see that big prision then?"
Yes, he is a good friend, yes his is British, but goddamnit, if that isn't the stupidest thing I ever heard a tourist say :s
