I was talking to a couple socialists about our options on May 1 and I actually said the magic words "What date is May 1 this year, anyway?"

Of course, it was obvious that I meant which day of the week. But it remained embarrasing as hell. It's on Wednesday, by the way.

I tend to forget most stupid things people say because there's no point in remembering it, but I do remember a couple years ago a Fox TV special on something, where the announcer proclaimed: "And it explodes into a FIREBALL of FLAMES!".

In 7th grade, we were trying to put the play Much Ado About Nothing in a 1940's setting in drama class. Someone asked, "Who won World War II?" I said, "Why don't you go to Nazi headquarters and find out?"

Oh, and the other day, I was trying to find a perfume by Estee Lauder for my grandmother's birthday or something, and I was telling my mom they didn't have the specific one she was looking for, but they did have Institution.
She promptly told me that was Intuition, then proceeded to laugh for five minutes.

A girl who went to CCD, and was from a family of practicing Christians, was in a class on the history of the world. We were discussing the breakup of the islamic caliphates following the assasination of muhammed's grankids, and she said, "Oh my God! That's like the romans killing jesus!"

We stared, and at once said, "I think they did."


She also once asked what prostittues did in victorian times, to whch the teacher replied their hardworking tradition.

You're right. Jesus wouldn't settle for mere injuries; with him it's a fatality every time.

Recently, I was listening in school to a strongly environmentalist speaker talking about why she supported the environment and so forth. It was then question period - the level of questions was generally pretty high. Then this one guy comes up and says:

"The way I see it, we're all just atoms, and it's not like the atoms are going to escape the earth, so why do we have to worry about the environment?"

Wishful thinking

It started out with statements like "I want you guys to give 110 percent out there today!", upon which the ante has been forever increased to "Joey's a legend! He gave, ohh, 150% out there today. The man's a freak!" To give 150% performance, he must be

I did hear recently such amazing figures as 1000% uttered by a mathematically challenged footballer

Some different sort of stupid.

The mother of my godmother died. A few months later I went to my grandmother washing clothes (which I did do regulary because it was more fun than a public laundry). She incidentally asked me: "Did you phone Anne recently?" I replied in a rather sloppy way "No, father in ruins, too?" My grandmother stared at me and said "I cannot lie to you, and it was you who asked. She told me not to talk about it. Yes, he died."

The most funny things I usually hear in the radio (keeping me laughing for the next half an hour). A completely mispronounced word in a programme which is aimed a the more culturally oriented audience (lots of classical music etc). Or the rather popular word "Atomgegner", those who oppose atoms ....
