The stupidest thing you've ever heard....

[CallMeIshmael]

Last night's daily show inspired this topic. What is the dumbest thing you've ever heard another person say??


FWIW, the following dialogue (sorry for the politics) is what sparked it. (Im not saying its the dumbest thing I've ever heard, its just what got me thinking about the subject):

Stephen Colbert: What appeals to you about the Republican party?

Mary Carey: I just think the Republicans are very very wealthy people. And, um, if I want to be wealthy and powerful I should hang out with them. IF you play with cripples, you start to limp. I dont want to play with cripples anymore. I want to be up with the NBA players. You know, which is like, "the Republicans" (She does the hand quotes thing here)

Stephen Colbert (without laughing): OK. In your analogy, Democrats are handicapped and Republicans are tall athletic black men?

Mary Carey: Exactly. That's exactly what it is.

Years ago there was a mid-air collision of 2 private planes over Cerritos, Ca., killing six people. One of the planes crashed into a private house. Dana King, a local TV reporter asked the owner of the house if this ever happened to her before. The woman was too dumbfounded to respond.

There's an urban legend that Mariah Carey uttered this gem in an interview about 10 years ago:

"When I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."

[RacersEdge]

Michael Moore usually has at least one quote at this level every time I hear him open his mouth..

I've heard this before too.

Also, something along the lines of:

Reporter: Mariah, what do you think of the death of the King of Jordan?

Mariah: It's a tragedy. Today, the world has lost one of its best ever basketball players.


Im not sure how much I believe either of them are true, but, you never know.

Another beauty: I was in my last year of high school when 9/11 went down, but I met friends who were in their first year of college at the time.

Right after it happened, a group of students on one floor of a dorm were gathered watching the whole thing on TV.

One student turns to my friend, referring to the second plane, and proclaims:

"Wow... that thing was flying"


(FWIW, my friend was like 99% sure he only got in because of his wrestling ability)

Supposedly Mariah Carey was shown a picture, or saw pictures on TV of starving children from Africa, and commented on how she wished she could be that thin. I heard that on some TV show or something.

[STLantny]

a couple of gems from the slow-witted hot chicks that i run with:

refering to a party invite that my roomates and i hosted for the millenium:

"I understand that in Y2k, 2k is 2000 but what is the Y for?"

a local college newspaper had a man on the street type column, where they ask random students a question and post their pic/quote:
question: Who are you voting for in the presidential election next week:
My friend the hot chick: I didnt even know there was an election.

Me hitting on this super hot twin: So, what do you have going on tonight.

Super hot chick: not much, wanna do something?

Me: def. wanna go take a drive in my wrangler and watch the meteor shower (i happened to hear about it on the 5 o clock news)

Her: (dumbfounded look, like i have 3 heads, and she was slightly mad)...uh, no, of course not....wont we get all wet?

FIRST PRIZE:

When I was booking sports in Vegas (pre-internet, but not by much), we were stuck with computers so old they made a Commodore64 look like DeepBlue. If you needed a box score from the SportsTicker computer, you'd hit "print", and wait a full minute before the printer started the job. It was brutal. Whenever someone would complain about it, my boss would say, "It's not that bad for something that's been underwater for 86 years." You'd look confused, and he'd finish his little joke: "We salvaged that from the Titanic." (At the time, the world was swamped with "Titanic" hype.)

One night, my wife came by to pick me up, as we were going out to dinner. I told her I just had to finish up a few things, and I started cursing the slow computers. While I was waiting on the printer, we had the following discussion:

ME: Actually, this computer isn't bad for something that's been underwater for 86 years.

HER: Huh?

ME: This computer was salvaged from the wreck of the Titanic.

HER: Really?

SECOND PRIZE:

All the sharpies who would call the offshore sportsbook I worked at, asking about the 20% deposit bonus, who were surprised that they were required to actually make some bets before withdrawing the bonus. Several times per week, we'd hear the disappointment in their voice when they'd say, "Oh, never mind," and hang up.

They thought they could send us $1000; we'd put $200 more in their account; and then they'd immediately withdraw $1200; and call us back to see if we'd do it again. And again. And again.

THIRD PRIZE:

Sticking with the sportsbook theme: My mother, after the Packers, favored by 14, beat the Patriots by 14 in the Superbowl:

"How did you guys know the Patriots were gonna lose by 14?"

HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO:

Myself.

During the "Music City Miracle" game, there were several long delays while the referee reviewed video replays. I mean multiple ten-minute-plus stoppages. It really hindered the enjoyment of watching a great football game.

I said to Ed, my boss, "THIS is why Replay has got to go. These stoppages are excruciating. I would rather see them blow a call every now and then, than put up with all these delays."

Ed's jaw dropped. "Bobby, that is the dumbest thing you've ever said."

I just love how that line implies that I've said many, many dumb things over time.

She puts a bowl of soup in the microwave to heat up. She left the spoon in the bowl, so when she started the microwave sparks shot everywhere. I was in the kitchen and asked her what the [censored] she was doing, telling her that she couldn't put metal in the microwave. She replies, "I know I can't put metal in the microwave, but I didn't know that spoon was made out of metal." /images/graemlins/confused.gif

#2: She brought her backpack in from her car during winter to do some homework. I was in the kitchen making dinner. I watched her as she struggled to do some math problems, getting increasingly more frustrated at her calculator. I look down for a second and suddly her a loud *POP* from the microwave. I ask her again, what the [censored] is she doing. She pulls out her smoldering calculator, looks me in the eyes, and says "It was cold" /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hmm. I think that's a bit of a leap, but whatever. For something to qualify for nomination here, IMHO, it should either be completely, hopelessly wrong, or it should be a revelatory statement about the blindingly obvious.

I was watching Olivier's "Hamlet" on TV with this really hot chick who had professed to love Shakesperare.

We get to the "To be or not to be" part, and she leans over and says, "THAT'S where they got that from!"

Later, she also said (about Shakespeare), "this guy's got a way with words."

I almost didn't stick it in her pooper after that, but I relented.
