Nursing school at OU: We'd all had a pretty rough class day with a lot of confusing information from the faculty. When we later met at the library to study, I made the comment that there was going to be a "mutiny" if they (the faculty) didn't get their assignments straight. I was met with blank stares from about 10-12 20yo girls. "Mutiny" isn't an uncommon word, besides....they were all young girls so you can't tell me they hadn't they seen Pirates of the Caribbean 10 or so times by now. I only saw the first one but it isn't a stretch to imagine "mutiny" being used in a friggin' pirate movie, is it? Maybe their collective response was "eeeeeeeeeeeee Johnny Depp!!" and they ceased paying attention, but I doubt it.
As I generally try to maintain a very strict diet to maintain/lose weight because of my metabolism, I've had a lot of weight loss advices from people. My favorite, from a woman about 60% my weight, "You should cut down on your water consumption. I drink less water than you and I weight less." I think this isn't so much being stupid as it's simply our brains automatically react to certain statements a certain way. I think everyone has such moments.
on a test: what is a way you can contract an s.t.d? answer: Spoiler from utensils...i.e. forks and spoons
My friend's response after i suggested we go to Chicago for summer vacation "Hell no! Chicago is a decrepit ghost town because its right next to Detroit in the Rust Belt..." He was pretty adamant about it and ignored all the statistics that I pulled up, lol
Up until a few years ago, I pronounced Eric Clapton as Eric ClaMpton. I still do occasionally just out of habit...
Many, many years ago my Aunty and her family had driven me to pick up a racing game for the old Playstation. Anyway my younger cousin was just learning how to read at the time, so I was getting him to read the names of the manufacturers on the front of the game. He was doing great, Ford, Ferrari.....then he gets to the next one.... and says "vulva?". That was the end of the reading lesson. :grin:
I went to BWW to watch the Mayweather-Mosely fight with my brother and father. Before the main fight and during the undercard fights, we were watching the Celtics and Cavaliers playoof game. My brother then asks my father and I "when do the Rockets play?" We both nearly fell out our chairs. When I worked at TCBY, I had a customer come in who proceeded to read the yogart flavors aloud while I stood nearby. "Chocolate Mouse?" After hearing that, I proceeded to the back of the store to hide my laughter. I have heard a ton of stupid things said while in college. But at UH none beat the time someone decided to argue with Barnes about why we should never have dropped the bombs on Japan. As soon as the first statement was made Barnes quickly gave the rest of us a confused wtf look in awe of this man arguing about **** that had already happend. Fact remains, you don't argue with Barnes.
Times have changed, the world's gotten smaller and all knowledge is increasingly available. But before that: (First. Born and raised on islands in the Pacific with a Japanese mother and an American GI dad. Arrived here at 17.) During my first winter in America (73/74) a new friend, Scott, wanted to show me the joys of hunting. So there we were on a side of a hill sitting against a tree facing opposite directions. Snow everywhere. An hour in he clears his throat and asked in all seriousness, "Does Japanese p***y really go horizontal?" (apparently that was a running joke here in America) If he could have seen my expression he would've had his answer, but I just took another hit off the pipe and said, without laughing mind you, "yeah, except for the black ones". And there that conversation ended with me handing the pipe back to him. I did tell him on the way home, and got punched for it. More than likely I got punched because I was laughing my butt off for like 20 minutes... Boy, that was a day! side note: Also, learned that day that I hate hunting.
Not exactly an uneducated mutant, but it was funny: We were in Orlando this summer at Universal, and we were having lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, when I hear this: My 9-year-old son: (looking at one of the many pictures on the walls) Hey Mom, is that Elvis? My wife: No, son. That's Madonna. I was like WTF ?? lol
Even if somebody believes Jesus is a fictional character, I thought this was funny. The Santa thing I have no problem with and they even make some good points but then to put Jesus in the mix. Ohhh Jesus. To make the statement,"Jesus was a white man too, but you know it's like we have, he was a historical figure that's a verifiable fact". How the hell is that a verifiable fact? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PVT0AszaWvw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/12/...lls-kids-jesus-and-santa-are-both-white-guys/

When driving by the Refuge on Memorial@ Beltway8 (Youth hangout/ junkfood place for nearby church), my friend mused, " Oh, the Refugee! I wonder what kind of food they have?" Our Vietnamese friend whose family came over as refugees quipped, "Probably nothing."
My friend who went to nursing school at UT tried to argue with me that medical terms ending in '-itis' meant something (I cant remember exactly what it was), but I told her she was wrong and it meant inflammation. She refused to believe me and said she learned it in school. I'm just glad she's a stay at home mom now and not saving lives.
These are mild compared with many of the answers I get from students on tests. To protect the not-so-innocent, I shouldn't post them on any kind of public forum. Sometimes there does not seem to be anything "computing" at all from what they write.
Was at a bar in Atlanta, GA and was talking to this puerto rican chick, dont remember how it came up long story short she told me "i might be puerto rican but im a latina so that pretty much makes me mexican like you" i didnt know whether to laugh or slapdahoe outta pure principle. I got my check and went back to the hotel mindblown.
