A friend once asked me what Bee Movie was about

Somebody once told me that because women have a higher pain threshold that a man being punched in the arm is 20 times more painful than a women giving childbirth. He also happened to be a misogynistic bigot so take from that what you will.

My sister inlaw was getting a new car from a different part of the country. She told me she drove there 70mph but only 50mph back because ' she didn't want to rack up more mileage' in her new car

She argued with me when I tried to explain its the same distance no matter how fast you drive!

Someone I know once told me how much she liked jacket potatoes and that when she went out to a restuarant she always asked for them. She then added that she wished she had the recipe for them so that she could make them herself.

The same person once said that she had watched a TV programme about Australia and thought it looked good there. She then added that she thought she might go on holiday there because it wasn't very far away.

Well TBF I can see why some people would think that as when you think of the US New York is where most people think of it seems to have most of the famous landmarks most of the big movies and TV shows seem to be set there

Yep. That and Sydney being the capital of Australia. Such a common misconception that you sometimes have to point it out in an atlas before people believe you.

I'd never make that mistake, mind. :cool:

Why isn't America in Eurovision?

A cousin went to a wedding in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and said that she couldn't understand why she was so tired when she got off the plane in Cape Town, as it was only 2 hours ahead of U.K. time.
I said, "But you were on the plane for 12 hours, watching movies and reading magazines."
She said, "What difference does that make? I got off the plane around 07.10 in Cape Town, but my watch was on London time, and said 05.10, why was I tired?"
No matter what anyone said, she wouldn't have it.
Yes, she is blonde by the way.

India is muslim.

I had a mate who couldn't get his head around the idea that Chinese people thought in chinese and not english the look of confusion while he tried to figure it out was classic

He never did figure it out he argued it for a while he actually is that thick

Someone said to me once that Rain (Yes, from the sky) was in fact dirty water!

...Yes, dirty water.

A Manchester United "fan" I know, I asked him where old trafford is and he said "Well I know it isn't in Manchester, London?"

there is an argument to say that you don't actually think in any language, as thought is conceptual.

by your argument are you saying that you also think in your local accent as well?

i suppose it depends on what the definition of clean water is.

"Isn't George Harrison Ringo Starr?" It took me a long time to work out I was being asked if they were the same man.

Well it will be clean when it begins it's fall from the sky, but I imagine it could be contaminated slightly by pollution depending where it falls.

While is it isn't exactly dirty water I imagine most people wouldn't want to drink it unless it was a last resort.

Hey there!
