American History class in College (during the 80's). Professor makes some comment about Reagan and Bush (the prez and VP at the time).

Dumb Cute Girl #1 sitting beside me turns to Dumb Cute Girl #2 and asks which party Reagan belongs to. DCG#2 says that Reagan is a Republican. DCG#1 than asks if Bush is a Republican, and DCG#2 says "I don't know".

Without missing a beat I ask both of them if they are Education Majors, and they look at me funny and say "How did you know?"

When I was a freshman in college I worked a retail job in my hometown and would occasionally see people I knew from high school. This chick that I used to be friends with came in and we started talking about what was going on in our lives. She showed me a gigantic rock on her finger and said, "I'm getting married next November!"

I said, "Good for you! Who's the lucky guy?", figuring that since we were from the same town, I might know him.

She answered, "My boyfriend".

Junior year of high school, Civics class. We are talking about the colonies and whatnot. Some girl raised her hand and said

"Wait...what's the difference between England and New England?"

I look her dead in the eye and say "About one ocean."


Then a week or so later two friends and I were in trouble for harassing the same girl, and two of her friends. We were threatened with expulsion, but nothing really happened because there was no proof of anything.

reminds me of a kid in highschool, varsity basketball as a freshman, not too swift. He was chasing another into a dorm room and got locked out. He's banging on the door, yelling at my friend Salisbury to let him in, etc etc. Finally he shouts "SALISBURY BLOWS MY MOM"

2 second pause from inside the room and then the loudest laughter i've ever heard from a group of 3 people.

No

I guess you had to be there. 1) She really thought she was divulging a dietary secret to me 2) She was genuinely concerned that the pepper in my diet was going to kill me. She lectured me on its ill effects for a couple minutes after the comment was made.

A friend of a friend stood in the kitchen of my friend's house and said, "Kevin, where do you guys keep your ice cubes?"

A friends girlfriend who was incredibly dumb (and yet did quite well in college) once asked where all the water went at low tide, this took a while to describe before she understood that the water didn't just pile up in the middle.

She had some other gems, but I dont remember any right now, if I think of them I'll be back.

Dumb hot girl (boy, this demographic is well-represented in this thread...) sitting next to me gets her test back in class.

The test was coincidentally exactly 100 points.

She has 62/100 circled in red ink on her test.

Looks at me, "John, what percent is that?"



Honorable mention:
Just moved into my new dormroom, which has a sh-tty dishwasher in it. I was hanging out with some friends complaining about how my dishwasher floods my kitchen. Dumb girl looks quizzically at me. "You brought your dishwasher from home?"

Honorable honorable mention:
Fresh out of grad school econ PROFESSOR.
Student:"Are the exams cumulative?"
Prof:"What do you mean?"
Student:(pause)"Umm...is stuff on the first midterm going to be on the second?"
Prof:(nodding vigorously)"Yes, yes, they are VERY cumulative."

one more: roommate's girlfriend admiring my roommate's new twin 20.1" flat panel monitors.
Identical monitors. Side by side.
Roommate's GF:(pointing at the monitor on the left)"Wow, THAT one is HUGE!"
