So you lied to him, he graciously did not call you on it, and now you object because he was elected?
racer, you astound me!
I once said to a very breeze-brained young lady I worked with, “Your blonde hair is so pretty! Why do you color the roots black?” (Yeah, it was kinda mean, but God, she was dumb and I had an audience.)
She replied with a very puzzled look on her face, “Oh, no, I don’t! That’s natural!”

What about under the finger and toe nails? And the aureoles/nipples? Or a bald man’s head?
PS: Lips aren’t skin, they’re membranes like your bowels.
My favorite “Why did the chicken…” joke is “Why did the pervert cross the road?” I don’t think I can even mention the punchlin here, but just think about it for a minute and I believe you will figure it out.
I had a roommate once who was convinced that there are pickle plants. He argued vehemently until we got a jar of pickles out of the fridge and showed him the cucumbers in the ingredients list.
About the hair thing, soles of the feet, palms of the hands and the lips. At least, I don’t have hair on my lips and I’m a pretty hairy guy.
A co-worker of mine told me of receiving a tearful phone call from a friend of his who wanted to make Jello for a family gathering but couldn’t find a recipe in any of her cookbooks.
My aunt, who lived in Australia, came for a visit some time ago, in the summer. She was amazed that there was no snow, we lived in a house, and did not own a dog team and sled.
When I worked for Yahell, I had customers asking where I was from, and when I said Canada, the response was invariably “Ooh, is it cold up there?” They were shocked to discover that we had actual hot temps in the summer, and we usually don’t get heavy snow until January.
Also, some people are surprised that when they call Yahoo Customer Service, they don’t actually get any customer service, because Yahoo Customer Care is an oxymoron…
sorry, I’m bitter right now…
What’s Luxemburgish for “damn”?
I had a friend in university who worked in a tourist bureau in the summer. American tourists from the south (Florida) arrived in Nova Scotia, Canada in July with skis strapped to thier car looking for the local ski hill.
Splort
Now that’s funny. I’ve got to figure a way to work this kind of thing in at the office. “In the previous quarter (25 centiyears)”
Another geography one I’ve noticed around here is one I previously suffered from myself. Around here Texas is thought of as “at the bottom, and way the hell over to the left”, leading to questions like “what are they, three hours behind?”. I can understand missing by one time zone, but two is just ignorant.
Probably something like vërdämmt!
Et deet mer leed, mä ech schwätzen nët Lëtzeburgesch.
I’m sorry, I don’t speak Luxembourgish.
