What's one of the dumbest things you've heard someone say?

1. Buddy’s girlfriend, sitting next to us on the couch the morning after a night out drinking. We’re all kinda tired just watching tv, but decided to get food. We were watching football and paused the DVR, and she absolutely, in 100% seriousness asked: “Hey, that doesn’t seem right, doesn’t that stop it for everyone?” Everyone speechless

3. Watched a mate chain smoke about 5 cigarettes, the morning after a big party. I told him to ease up, he's going to kill himself. He replies "What about the amount of Coke you drink. Imagine what your lungs look like ! " I almost coughed one up laughing.

7. Had a co-worker that honestly believed you could not drive to Mexico because the black line on Google maps was so thick that it was marking a barrier. This was 5 years ago and she was early 30's. Also thought there were only 2 timezones because that's how the TV told her when to watch... And that elevation was directly related to placement on the globe, further north meant you were higher up.

11. While working in a frozen yogurt shop, I've heard a few dumb questions. One that stands out was when someone asked a coworker what the difference between coconut and vanilla was. He said "One is coconut flavored and one is vanilla"

12. That her friend's baby was born black because she went to the tanning bed while pregnant. It was my husband's cousin's wife...he looked mortified. No one said a word except him, he just quietly muttered "i don't know about that" We assume he explained it to her later.

13. Customer "Hey what are these black things on my sushi rolls?" Server "uh... i dont know.. ill ask the kitchen..." I hear the kitchen staff say,"black sesame seeds..?" The server goes back to the table, and I guess not wanting to appear racist tells the customer,"those are African American sesame seeds."
