Proper subtraction to a grown woman who thought I shorted her 20 bucks (I worked at a bank at the time).

Had a work friend a couple weeks ago ask us what the "most populous city in Antarctica was?"...

ETA:

Same work friend had never heard of Bermuda the island. Had no clue it existed.

And one time I confidently told an out of town guest staying in Baton Rouge that he could see the sun rise across the Mississippi River. He even repeated it to me as a question and I said it again. I still cringe thinking of that.

That the correct expression is "all intents and purposes" not "all intensive purposes."

There was a sea scout camp near a beach where the porpoises were so friendly that they swam to shore every night at dinner time. Every night the chef used to announce dinner by yelling: "Dinner! For all in tents...and porpoises."

Had to explain to a college roommate that girls do not pee out of their butts.

Funny because he wasn't even a virgin. He had gotten laid without knowing one of the most basic concepts of female anatomy

Dude was in bicycle shorts and a tanktop when he did that. It was like 50 degrees outside.

I had a coworker that could not wrap his mind around how to use a ratchet strap. Literally showed him how 5+ times and would still catch him just tying the strap to the truck bed

Sometimes they do. Sometimes men do. Montezuma's revenge comes to mind.

I had a girl that was a 3rd year chemical engineer major at my house during Thanksgiving and she thought the 911 emergency number came into being after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. She thought it was a way to commemorate that date.

I turned my truck around one time because I thought I left my keys at home... think about that one...




I was on the phone with a buddy and rushing to get out the house

I grabbed my wallet and keys, but could not find my cell phone anywhere, i kept looking for my cell phone for 2 minutes

Again, I was on the phone with a buddy at the time
