What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say?

For example,

My brother thought the UK had a billion people in it, then when he saw my confused expression he over corrected and said five million. He got really angry when I started laughing. He works for the British civil service.

(65.14 million for anyone that's wondering)

    About the Underground Railroad.... "There has to be an opening for the railroad, because somebody's driving the train. It's not electric like what we have now."

    Mind you, this was an african american woman whose great grandfather was a civil rights leader.

    lol, gotta love those housewives.

    I was born in Flushing, NYC, and grew up in the Hamptons, on eastern Long Island. I lived in San Francisco from 1978 to 1983. Out there, I knew a guy, Jerry, from Canarsie, in Brooklyn. We had an ongoing argument over whether Brooklyn was on Long Island.

    For the record, Long Island is the entire land mass from the East River, which separates it from Manhattan and the Bronx, to Montauk Point at its easternmost end. It includes four NY counties: Kings Co., aka Brooklyn; Queens Co.; Nassau Co.; and Suffolk Co. See map below.

    Jerry's position was that one had to cross over water to get from Brooklyn to Long Island. When I asked him to specify which body of water he was referring to, he said, "Paerdegaat Creek!" Look it up!!

    What an idiot! (he's dead now, anyway...)

    "The movie The Poseidon Adventure was based on an actual event."

    Said by me circa 1973!

    I can't give you the Pacifics (as in specifics). A grown *kitten* adult.

    How about 'uren afection'? And, law school - now's that scary or what?
    Anyway, someone I know is a middle school teacher, she spells about the same, 'namonia' (pneumonia) and such
