Plenty of my students don't know that Washington state and Washington DC aren't the same place.
Also, Alaska and Hawaii as insets on US maps has screwed an entire generation.
Student: "How come it's so cold in Alaska if it's down there?"

In first geography class at LSU, a girl of Vietnamese heritage labeled Asia as china.
Not even the worst part of her map. Have no idea how she got into college.

Also, some people in Phoenix have never seen snow.
Flagstaff is just two hours away.
If they are over the age of 2 I don't see how that is true since it just snowed here winter before last......

Thats your fault but I have a great idea on how to fix it. Next time you see them take one minute and explain the difference to them and they will all know. Even if you teach math take one minute out of your class and tell them.

A buddy of mine dated a girl in high school who went to see the latest Star Wars with us. Upon leaving the theater she actually asked "So was that based on a true story?".... I came undone 
ETA: This girl also thought a guys balls were on top of the johnson and not below haha She was some kind of retarded.

Some of the folks under the age of 25 or so don't realize that there was a time when the internet didn't exist, or that we once stopped at gas stations to use pay phones if we needed to make a mobile call.
Or that we actually had to walk inside to pay for the gas (no pay at pump)

few weeks ago the wife and i are headed back home and we are crossing over the vacherie bridge.
Shes looking in the water and theres a big dark spot on the water.
She says "i wonder why that part of the water is darker than the rest. Is that a pocket of salt water or did they have an oil spill or something"
I didn't know how to answer at first so didn't say anything until she realized how dumb she was.
It was the shadow of a cloud.
It was funny when she realized how stupid she sounded. she was pretty embarrassed.
But that makes me think, thats just one dumb thing that she said out loud, well there are others. What stupid thoughts does she have that she doesnt say out loud?
Women are dumb.

About 2 years ago I learned what Prohibition was about. When asked why I didn't know about it, I responded with "I wasn't alive then, and ever since I wanted to drink, I was able to so never cared enough to know about it."

A friend's BIL is the absolute dumbest person I have ever met. We were at a party once discussing something I can't recall because he said the dumbest shite I've ever heard. He said, "That's the law in all 51 states." Everyone stopped talking and just stared at him, and my friend said, "Really, Tommy?" And he got embarrassed and said, "My bad. 53. I wasn't counting Alaska and Hawaii." We just walked away.
Another time, I was at a bar, and a guy offered to buy me a drink. He sat down and asked me what my name is (the same fairly uncommon first name as someone very famous). He seriously said, "Wow! Are you related to (famous person)?"
