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?"

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.
