Americans Say The Darnedest Things

"So, are there any cities in Australia, or is it all just Outback?"

Really?

Who said that?! How ignorant (but funny and quite the bloggy gold. Definitely.)

There are dumb people everywhere. I was in England and when a local found out I was from New Jersey she asked me if I knew Bruce Springsteen.

Cora - Random Bus Stop Dude. (Normally I avoid these conversations like the plague but he just noticed my accent after asking me how often the buses came)

WWW - Were you like, "Uh, it's a state, not a farm!"

What a dumb question. Everyone who is anyone knows that it is all Outback with a couple of Kangaroos.

Cowguy said...

See it's the same thing with Missouri... "Does anyone in that state have all their own teeth?"

No.

Tell Quigley I said "howdy".

Soda and Candy said...

Mo - All right, you got me.
; )

Cowguy - Right?

Kurt said...

What? You didn't answer the question! Why are you being so evasive? What are you hiding, Australia?

Dr Zibbs said...

Stupid Americans.

Soda and Candy said...

Kurt - well, the current Australian society was founded by criminals, so...

Zibbs - Hey, I never said that!

*ummm.. uh... so does this mean it isn't? LOL

cowguy... hahahah... that's damned funny.

I'm trying to think of if anybody's ever asked me a stupid assed question like that but I can't think of any.

Well, unless you count once I was asked in jest if I was a "chola" because I come from a small agricultural town called McFarland with a reputation of breeding gangsta's. But it was meant as a joke and I quickly responded, "That's right. So don't f*ck with me or I'll shank you."

shank=stab

Soda and Candy said...

Tiwinkie - your turn to educate me - what is a chola?

I have a love/hate relationship with the USA, mainly because as a dual citizen I guess I'm (shudder) half-American. Generally I'm proud to be a Yank, but tourist season tends to make me wish I were Japanese.

The Japanese are seriously the sweetest tourists ever.

I was going to ask you if everyone is afraid of dingos stealing their babies down there, but now I think I should probably keep that question to myself.

oops.

Twinkie said...
