U.S. Representative John Boner Boehner tries to quote the preamble to the Constitution (the one he's holding) and quotes the Declaration of Independence instead. |

Automotive stupidity
My boyfriend worked as a mechanic for a couple decades, and as such he's pretty much Seen It All--you know, the electric tape over that pesky oil light, the music up loud to drown out that funny noise...but this one really stood out. Scenario: customer walks into a parts store and requests something simple....say, spark plug wires. And this dialogue follows: Clerk: What kind of car is it? Customer: A fodo. (The r-dropping makes it worse somehow--I swear I thought it was some exotic European make I'd never heard of before.) Clerk: Yeeesss...but what KIND of four-door is it? Customer: It a V8. And the worst part is, he says that not only did this happen REGULARLY, but about three times out of five the next information they would come out with was the color of the paint. Because the fact that your car has four doors will really narrow down the specific parts you need. O.o Current Mood:  amused |

Civics class stupidity.
I'm a senior in high school and the things I hear from the mouths of my peers are simply stunning. I just want to either bang my head against the wall or burst into tears on a daily basis. In the beginning of the semester, a student asked, "Do we have a prime minister?" (We are in the US. This should not be a question you need to ask as a 17/18 year old.) Yesterday a student asked if women could run for president. I go to an all-girls school and we just finished watching a movie about the women's rights movement. Not to mention, where has she been for the last couple of years? A woman just did run for president, idiot. I genuinely fear for the future. There are some relatively intelligent and informed students in the class and the school as a whole. But the rest...I just do not understand how they will ever survive in life. D: Even more insanely stupid things happen quite often. I could fill a journal. |

Just...stop opening your mouth, please.
My Calculus teacher is pretty cool, and if you say something stupid in his class, he'll let you know. There are only eight people in class, and you would think it wouldn't be very interesting, but it is. Today, he was telling us about Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous architect. One girl didn't know who he was (and I didn't either) so she asked him. Before he could respond, another girl, who is kind of stupid, said, "Don't you know, he's the flying brothers." And she made little 'wing' motions with her hands. I burst out laughing at her, and so did the teacher. Eventually, he calmed down enough to inform her that, no, he wasn't one of the Wright brothers. Their names are Orville and Weber. I've known that since fifth or sixth grade. And let's not comment on the grammar fail of 'he' also being 'brothers'.

Sitting in my infectious organisms class - it's a 400-level class and can be taken for graduate credit as well, so it's not easy stuff. We're talking about herd immunity and the graphs that go along with it. My professor mentions that when you get sick with an acute disease like the flu, one of two things happens - you A) get better and have immunity or B) you die. He also mentions that the incidence tapers off as more people recover. A girl in class raises her hand and asks "But, what about the dead people - are they immune?" The prof looks at her silently for a moment - "No?" She asks. Then it clicks. "OH! Ohhhh... He he, never mind!" I headdesked. |

Lollercoaster! Everyone Buckle Up And Enjoy The Ride!
My brother-in-law is a supposed expert on cars. Always offering to save me a couple of bucks. He did a brake job on my car, but didn't even check the bearings, figuring they were so big, "I don't see how they could ever fail." Well, they did, and I had to replace the front axle. My brother-in-law has a compact truck that was starting to give him some problems. So, he negotiated a trade with a guy for a car. Straight trade, no cash. All I heard from family was how my brother-in-law is a shrewd negotiator and really pulled one over on the guy. Today, the car won't start. And my brother-in-law looked under the hood for the first time. How do I know he hadn't looked there before? There was a lawn mower battery wired in instead of a regular car battery. I nearly passed out from laughing and am now a bit hoarse. But it was worth it. |

when the sun and moon collide
The recent post about space reminded me of my own story..... I was a senior in high school and my science class was watching a news clip of the recent solar eclipse. Everyone was silent as the shadow started to cover the sun. My teacher was explaining how the moon was responsible for blocking the sun. All of a sudden one of the most popular girls in my class screams out, "OH MY GAWD!! ARE THEY TOUCHING???!!!" |

Coworker: H1N1 must be a strand of TB. Me: No, it's a flu virus. TB is bacterial. Coworker: Anything to do with your lungs is a kind of TB. Like SARS. That was TB too. Me: *HEADDESK* |

There's a girl at my work who is not very smart. She's constantly making statements that cause people to stop and stare at her. Laughter at her expense usually follows after the WTF-Moment. Some of the particularly stunning gems (and the plural-form-failure is her own): "Does Helen Keller really talk with her hips?" "What's the Louvre?" "Ink comes from octopuses!" (all ink. pens, printers, tattoos, etc. ONLY from the octopus.) "If you get stung by a scorpion you have to pee on it or you'll die in, like, an hour." "I only cut my wrists to see why people would want to die that way." She will also argue, viciously, about the consequences of sun exposure and deafness. According to her, tanning for 3+ hours twice a week will never contribute to skin cancer, and the maxed out volume on her headphones will never make her deaf. Also, today she told me that I'm racist because I don't know who Biggie Smalls and Tupac are. Current Mood: aggravated |

Where does she come up with this stuff?
hi. Remember when, a while back, I posted about a girl in my Earth Science class who thought there were rocks in the atmosphere (not meteors, just hovering rocks)? I`m back with more stories about her. 1: (We were talking about the Coriolis affect and a lot of people in my class were frustrated about the turning of the earth and perspective and such.) Her: Who even thought of this?! Teacher: Probably someone named Coriolis... Me: (quietly) God... Her: So I could just go out and make up a huge law and everyone would follow it? Everyone: no...? 2. (these next two I was told by a friend, so I don`t have the actual sentences everyone said.) "...so the earth is just held up by, like, a string?" (Yes; the clouds are just large white sweaters, and there`s a loose thread going into the earth that keeps it all together.) 3. (Somehow, the idea of gravity came up): Boy next to her: *something something gravity something* Her: I don`t even understand gravity! What is it? (she doesn`t understand gravity? She`s in tenth grade and is fifteen. And it still hasn`t stuck?) Boy:...you don`t know what gravity is? Her: No! What is, a liquid or something? |
