One time my ex-girlfriend confused a bottle of nail polish remover for a bottle of beer.
IDIOT. Dangerous, too.
HAHAHA
My girlfriend thought “Another One Bites the Dust” was about AIDS. Haha, IDIOT.
My idiot uncle, I guess? He is 35 and still lives at home with his mom and thinks that that’s okay. Also he watches TV all the time and knows everything about vampire novels and will not stop talking about either of those things on Christmas no matter how much your eyes plead for mercy.
Pleading with your eyes is called “PLYZING.”
My idiot ex-husband thought the words to Steve Miller’s Jet Airliner were “big ‘ol Chet [Haze?] with the light on.” OK, he was 5, but that doesn’t make him any less of an idiot now.
My mom got offended when I used the work ‘puke’. But to me, that’s what her casserole tasted like.
Ok, that wasn’t an idiot story AND it was stolen from Jack Handey. Look’s like I’M the idiot.
(post-script: I logged in using my other account so I wouldn’t double-comment.)
During my senior year of high school the student council treasurer adamantly insisted that if you dug a hole through the center of the Earth to China, once you broke ground there, you would fly off into the atmosphere. Everyone thought she was joking, but she was deadly serious. She did not understand the theory of gravity. I’m sure today she’s running for political office.
Oh what the hell?! I thought I logged on with facebook!
NOW it works. Good grief.
My idiot (awesome, wonderful cousin) thought that the term “bride’s maid” was actually “bride’s mate, you know, like a first mate on a ship”. At the time, my cousin was a young adult and well into puberty, so it wasn’t really a kids say the darnedest things moment. More like… damn kids and their Justin Beaver and their faux hawks and their Pads.
I won! I won! I won the sweater! Now it’s time for a Friday dance.
One time when my band was on tour, we stayed at a place that we were told had no electricity. We got there and sure enough, zero power. However, my guitar player, still down at the van, didn’t know what apartment we were in, so when he looked up and saw a faint tv light coming from one window, he decided that “no electricity” must mean “a little electricity.” He walked in on a woman asleep in bed and a man in the middle of taking off his underwear.
A kid in my high school picked up a yard stick or a meter stick maybe, and noticed that the number 72 was across from 18, 73 across from 17, 74 across from 16, etc.
This was in 1990. He realized that if one was born in 1972, one would (in 1990) be 18 years old; born in 73, 17 years old, etc. He got so excited and yelled out, “If you tell me what year you were born, I can tell you how old you are!” and went around the classroom testing his stick theory.
Ok – I feel bad telling this story, because I love my brother so. But one time when he was really young (7? 8?) we were having a conversation, more of an argument, and he was mad about something. And he very sauvely said “It’s called STUPIDISM, Holly!” I’m thinking about bringing it back. Stupidism!
Back when Snakes on a Plane was in theaters, my friend and I wanted to get a group to see it. He called his girlfriend to ask her, and the conversation I heard was as follows:
“Hey Jill, what are you doing tonight?”
…..
“Well, we were thinking of going to see Snakes on a Plane. Wanna come?”
…..
“…it’s about Snakes on a Plane, Jill.”
Once a co-worker was explaining to me that her husband takes the FERRY to work… but I thought she said, “FAIRY.” And after considering this for a good minute, I said, incredulously, “Your husband believes in FAIRIES!?”
I was an adult at the time.
