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!"

What a great civilisation!!Met a local in San Diego once. At some point during our riveting and enlightening meeting he proceded to enthusiastically described to me this amazing American phenomena where by local people come together on a certain day of a week and set up stalls to sell their wares "we call it a market you guys should try it". His look of extreme excitment/smugness at educating such a poor traveler as myself was replaced by one of confusion when I wasn't instantly awestuck by the wonders of the great advanced American civilisation. This look was then replaced with one of exreme horror as I held him down and scooped his eyeballs out with a blunt stick and then pissed in his eye sockets.
Warning: Last bit may not have happened.
