When I was in college, I was driving through Lake Charles across the I10 bridge with my girlfriend at the time. She looked down at the body of water and asked me what body of water that was.

I said "are you serious?" and then I asked her what city we were passing through.

She yelled at me.

How to read a tape measure


After they learn that,try teaching them to convert their measurements into decimals.

How about this? explaining to grown people,that this century actually started On 1,1,2001,and not 1,1,2000.

Seious, he did not get that it was a mockumentary.

Wasn't until after some of Christopher Guest's other films that the light went on.

This is a retarded one. I know where you are coming from, but how about we ignore that 1 year in the beginning instead of being willingly difficult and kinda douchy. After all, year one is pretty arbitrary.

Had to explain to my wife that the "night deposit" at the bank actually worked and how it worked.

Also, same wife thinks its a conspiracy that our garbage bill is the same every month.

I've had to explain to an adult man how to start a lawnmower on more than one occasion.

Maybe it is arbitrary,but how can that same person be able to count money,or divide anything else into sets of 100s,yet still not grasp the same concept for years.

Because, again ignoring that there was no year zero, we treat the year 2000 as the beginning of the new millennium, century, decade, etc...

Using your cash example it would be like having $200.01, you are working on your 3Rd hundred dollar bill.

Didn't read through the thread but has anyone had to explain that Africa isn't a country?

Yes. A girl I used to work told me she was trying to decide between going to Egypt and Africa. I told her that if she bought a ticket to Egypt they let her go to Africa free. She had no idea what I was talking about.

My Mom has a 58 year old male neighbor,that still hasn't figured it out. Lucky for him,he has a trust fund to live on.I don't think he has ever had a job...or a girlfriend.
