After school one day, around 5 years old, asked the black lady who cleaned our house what a n***** was. Felt pretty bad once she explained it.

Conversation between my brother and friends.

Friend: We found some baby skunks in the barn yesterday.

Brother: Did they spray y'all?

Friend: No, but they sprayed at us.

Brother: (confused look) Who's Atus?

About a year ago, I had a 2 pg document photocopied that was binder clipped. Once I received the copy, I asked my coworker why the top part was blacked out. I felt so incredibly stupid

I have boy/girl twins (they look quite different) and when people would hear they were twins, we'd often be asked if they were identical.

except this is stupid. how can you measure success in the music industry if not popularity? they are the most popular group ever because the most people like them. that pretty much means they are the best by definition.

Had a buddy who once asked a guy at Home Depot what aisle could he find elbow grease on. He was dead serious.

I have a question that I always wanted to ask... But didn't want to sound stupid...

Why do people have to do a handstand on a keg when trying to drink straight from the tap?
