Dumbest thing you\'ve ever heard?
 

What is it?

My friend's gf is 18yo. I've never been her biggest fan, as she is loud, obnoxious and very, very dumb. Anyway, last Saturday I am drinking with friends in the pub and she is there. Somehow pate is the topic of discussion.

This idiot honestly believed that pate was produced from babies umbilical cords. She claimed this is something she had learned off her mother.

WTF? Obviously I got a pretty good joke in regarding Brussels pate, but seriously, how do these people exist? Can anyone top this?

I had the perfect answer for this, but then I read your example, and that's pretty dumb.

My story is a woman who worked for me who said that in Japan, mothers have sex with their sons to keep them from having sex with other girls before marriage. One of my other employees got so mad about this while arguing with her I thought he was going to punch her. When asked for her source of this knowledge, she was like "Everyone knows this, this is a common fact."

Another time, when it was observed that I was putting a lot of pepper on my lunch: "OMG, youre going to have a heart attack one of these days"

It's French paste. Not as good as French kissing, but okay on toast.

Okay - sorry.

One time I was hanging outside with some people and it was a nice cloudy day and someone asked me if you could walk on clouds!! Later I was explaining to someone what that person had asked me and they didnt think it was a dumb question.

Pate in french is a very general term to describe a spread. I does not imply umbilical cords from cows.
This thread is confusing me.

we're at a bar back home in Hawaii. friend of my cousin's wife (IG= idiot girl), who has likely never been off the rock, is there, trying to be sophisticated and failing miserably (I'm in SF now, and my wife is from here, so we can out pretentious almost everyone on the island if we put our minds to it). Now, this is a bud light and wine from a box type of joint that the strippers from the next door strip joint (it was "ladies night" that night, so that's why we weren't there) hang out at after work.
the waitress (who happens to be dating my other cousin at the time; bbc= big boob chick) comes by for our order and ig says "I only drink wine. do you have chardonnay?". BBC says that they only have the "house wine" and brings ig one. it's a pale, sickly looking white. IG takes a sip, proclaims it "pretty good" and says "is this merlot?"

Re: Dumbest thing you\'ve ever heard?
 

I've got a few really dumb things, all are basically related to people making stereotypically ignorant American type comments.

When I was a senior in high school I had a foreign exchange student from England (Stoke-On-Trent more specifically) living with me. I was driving in a car with him, another friend and his dumb but fairly hot girlfriend.

Not shitting you the girl asked "do you speak English in England?" As we were all cracking up I replied with, people from England are English or something like that and she said "yeah but I thought they spoke French." Unbelievable.

Second comment was during a 30 day bus tour/camping trip in Europe organized by a history teacher at my high school. We started in London and took the train to France and then rode a double decker bus for the next 3+ weeks around France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and finishing up in Munich. The day we arrived in a Paris a girl asks "So do they speak France or are we in France?"

At the train station in London a couple girls, one who made the comment above, got their cameras out for the train ride. When asked why they said "to take pictures of the fish in the chunnel."

Re: Dumbest thing you\'ve ever heard?
 

I hang out with very dumb and very hot chicks.



I was making small talk, with this girl, asking if she wanted to get together later, Id take teh top of my jeep, and we could watch the meteor shower, she looked at me pissed/perplexed...and asked "Wont we get all wet?"

1999- we had a party, made fliers, said Y2K party or something like that, girl asks, I understand that 2k is 2000 but whats the Y?

Presidential election of Gore v Bush, girl gets interviewed by school newspaper in a "man on the street" type thing. basically 4 pictures of random campus kids, and a question with their quote underneath. The first 3 spouted some political crap, and the girls quote was "I didnt even know there was an election"

I've heard lots of dumb stuff over the years but one that comes to mind was spoken by a coworker. She thought the animal Chinchilla was an actual cross between a rabbit and a squirrel.

My sister-in-law's parents-in-law (follow?) are country folk and routinely say stupid things at family functions. We were having thanksgiving dinner one year and the topic came up that a family member's friend was going to adopt a baby from China. This seemed to confuse the mother-in-law and she asked "Why would she do that?" in an incredulous voice. My sister-in-law replied that the girl couldn't get pregnant, it's hard to adopt in Canada, there are millions of baby girls up for adoption in China, and so on.

The mother-in-law still seemed shocked that someone would do this, and finally asked:

"How are the parents going to understand what the baby is saying when it starts to talk in Chinese?"

Heh. My brother asked this (almost) exact same question about the Korean boy our aunt and uncle were adopting.

Of course, my brother was only 5 at the time...

When a five year old asks a question like this, it's cute. When a 60 year old asks the same question, it's scary.

Just thought of another one...

When I was about 17, a friend of mine was trying to quit smoking. I saw him at school and he looked a little pale. I asked him what was wrong and he said that he "quit cold turkey" and thought it was making him sick.

"Why, because of the withdrawal?" I asked him.

"No, I think that eating the uncooked turkey gave me food poisoning or something."

this is awesome.

my friend's dog has a miscolored eye. someone asked them if their dog was deaf in that eye. (maybe he just said deaf instead of blind) but then he started going on about the hearing of the dog.

That's more of a geography problem than anything. She probably didn't realize what state the city of Boston was in. It would have been different had she asked what state "Alabama State" was in.

A few years ago some friends and I were smoking weed, and discussing music. When the topic of the Beatles came up, this girl says "I hate the Beatles. Beatles is the worst music I've ever heard in my life." I immediately burst, laughing loud and hard and told her that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard.

I swear that it's true. When I started laughing at him and explained to him what "cold turkey" really means, he was mortified and got all panicky and tried to get me swear never to tell any of our other friends what he'd done.

The interesting part is that he took "cold turkey" to mean "cold *raw* turkey"...and this was one of the smarter guys I knew growing up.

Not dumb in "got hit in the head as a child" dumb, but "I'm trying to look sophisticated and failing miserably" dumn. if you're going to try to pull off "wine snob", at least get your reds and whites straight.

for flat out dumb, here's one from college in Oregon:

"Wow, you drive well, where'd you learn to drive?"
"back home"
"they have cars in hawaii?"

and

"How do the pilots find the islands when you go to hawaii?"
"well, they have established routes and flight paths, I guess"
"How do they establish the paths? don't the islands float into different locations from time to time?"

both were straight up serious.
