I was just talking on the phone with my sister last night... The girl has a well above average I.Q. But she says some of the dumbest things I've ever heard!.

She is a Travel agent and was taking some of her company reps out for lunch while they were visiting, They asked where they were going and she said, "Its a gentleman's club, I love it, we go there all the time, I have a coupon!"... It was NOT a strip club, just like an old golfers hang out with a lot of men... they thought they were in for a treat!.

When she was in high school, at dinner one night she said, "What does Promiscuous mean" So my parents told her it was someone who sleeps around. She yells "Oh No!!! I thought it meant Ornery! I just told Nick Hanson at School that I was feeling Promiscuous!"

She lives in Florida, and was going to see the last space shuttle launch... but instead of saying she wanted to be there in time to see it get Ejected, she said she wanted to be there in time to see it get Ejaculated.

My friend Alissa is going to visit my sister in Florida next month for vacation... she asked if we were going to fly or take a canoe! She meant train... and we live in Illinois... that would be one LONG canoe ride down the Mississippi!

What are some of the dumbest things you've said or someone you know has?

  • I live in Florida as well... is she single? I'd keep her around just for the LOLz.

    My girlfriend called me after President Obama was elected and said "My mom said he's going to take from the rich and give it to the poor. Does that mean we're going to get a check?" I said "yes you should have it in a month along with your sign" :laugh:

    My husband is a very intelligent guy, good job, well respected. But his misuse of the word "seen" drives me bananas. As in:
    "I seen this show the other day". I'll ask "Have you seen the remote control?" His response "Yes, I seen it". ARRRRGH. I know it's a small thing, but he sounds like a moron when he does this! His mother does the same thing, so I know that's where he gets it.

    An ex-boss and the lead engineer discussing a mathematical formula to test quartz:

    Boss: It works like this.
    Engineer: How do you know it works like that?
    Boss: How do you know it doesn't work like that?

    My friend Nancy and I were also doing a birthday project for a friend, and she said "You have to draw us though because you know what we look like"... She is not blind, I don't know why she said that! lol

    Smart people usually say the dumbest things. My coworker has a law degree from a top tier law school and she says the dumbest things I've ever heard come out of a human being.

    9th grade religion: My teacher was talking about how the Church is against euthanasia, and my ever brilliant 15 year old self raised her hand and asked in a VERY serious tone "But why don't they want kids in Asia?"

    I don't think I'll ever live that one down with my high school classmates.
