Cut out a part by accident:
***Are you familiar with Nostradamus?
This is a quote from one of his predictions:
“In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror…
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city…”
“In the city of York there will be a collapse, twin
brothers
torn apart by chaos while the fortress fall, the great
leader will
succumb,
the third big war will come when the big city is
burning…”

I used to work at Blockbuster Video (please don’t hold that against me?!!) Someone once rang up and asked …
“What videos do you have?”
I was once watching TV with a friend of mine who is lovely, but has terribly brainless moments where she says the funniest things. It was a comedy show and the comedian said,
“Did you know, the word gullible isn’t in the dictionary”
to which my friend replied
“oh my god! Isn’t it?”
It took her a good couple of minutes to realise why her boyfriend and I couldn’t stop laughing!
Back in the late 80’s or early 90’s, I happened to be in Houston and was watching the late news after a Houston Rockets game and during the sports section they were interviewing one of the Rockets players regarding their victory. This was his comment:
I was on the phone with my mom, walking her through installing something on her computer, and she actually said: “Can you see what I’m doing?” I answered “Yes”, made a fist and knocked on my monitor. Then she said “Is that you??” Took me several minutes to stop laughing.
My favorite Dan Dierdorfism: “Well folks, stranger things have happened, but none stranger than this.”
The help desk at my college was called “Product Information Support Services.” Guess what everybody called them.
My B-Day is Valentine’s Day, and people too numerous to count have responded to that: “Every year?”
I had a girl in college look at the 12:00 blinking on my VCR and tell me that I had messages.
Same girl tried to play a CD in my Sega Genesis. She had the CD in the game slot and was spinning it with her hand while toggling the On/Off switch when I walked in.
I’ve been a lurker here for a while, but finally registered just so i could post this
The scene:
My girlfriend at the time and I were sitting there on the couch watching the movie “Willow”. We somehow got on the topic of midgets, particularly midgets in movies. I mentioned how, as far as i knew, “The wizard of Oz” was the first movie I could think of with midgets in it.
She then asked the question: “Well, which movie came first: Willow or The Wizard of Oz?”
i think i broke up with her soon thereafter…
In the vain of outing onesself, I was walking around all the book shops in my town trying to find a sci fi book. I enter a book shop with huge fish symbols prominantly displayed and asked them. I was 18 at the time and that was how I learnt that a fish symbol equates with fundamental christianity. oh, and they didn’t have any scifi books.
On another note I was in Stockholm with some friends, the usual European lot, germans, french, italians, swedes and so on, when my friend, a Lebanese-Australian, upon finding out that a girl in the group came from Belgium said “Belgium is the capital of Luxembourg isn’t it?”.
Just people not knowing certain little facts.
Also, an American tourist asked my sister if people had milk and electricity in Australia, while another was convinced that we didn’t have indoor toilets. Also in this vain my father (A professor of rural management) got into an argument with an American who thought that Australia was too dry and we should water more often. He was conviced that because California is a dry state and had plenty of water, Australia should too. He just kept saying to pipe the water in, no mention of from where. the words Driest inhabited continent seemed to mean nothing to him.
While working in the seafood department of a grocery store, a woman walked up and started staring at the live lobster tank. After a few minutes she turned to me and asked “Are these lobsters fresh?”, to which I replied “Well…they’re alive.”
Sarcasm runs in the family i guess, because my dad’s favorite conversation is as follows:
Me: “Did the team win or lose?”
Dad: “Yes.”
Two local news anchors were reporting an assault that happened that day. The female anchor kept reporting about how the victim was assaulted with a “smoldering gun”. When she was through with the report, the male anchor smugly leaned over and said “I believe that’s a (pronouncing it as follows) SOLE-dering gun.” Unfortunately for him he was referring to a soldering (SOD-ering) gun.
Finally, a quote heard while flipping tv channels from a beautiful scantily clad woman:
“I didn’t think ANY studio would hire me on as a porn actress.”
On Tuesday, while everyone was trying to come to grips with what happened, a good friend said “I wonder what Saturday Night Live’s take on this is going to be?”
-the following takes the cake here folks.the following was posted on usenet(alt.music.rage-machine). by a genius who goes by the moniker “Jonny RinO”. REPEAT posted by “jonny RinO” on usenet. so if you feel the need to flame. go flame this genius on usenet.
Everybody is craying … everybody is shocked about so many dead people.
but Why ?!?
okok …not everyday a big tower like the WTV collapses, but how many people
die in earthquakes, die because of hunger. How many people are geting killed
by the government … and so on.
This numer is much bigger that than the number of people died in this
accident.
I hate how many people died there !
But i think it was the right time to show the usa that they are not
invulerable !
Okay, remember the first post about my sister-in-law, the thick-as-a-brick topiarist?
Well her sister (my wife) and I were sitting down to some BBQ’d yardbird I’d fixed last night and I commented that instead of the “Spicy” brand sauce that I usually use, I’d brushed on their “Mild” variety instead. Said wife turned to me and asked “Oh, is it less spicy?”
Too numerous to mention, but some of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard or read have been on the recent news coverage (“Excuse me, but how many people do you think are dead?” “What is the state of the Towers now?” “Your wife is in the wreckage…how does that make you feel?”) and all the other stupid comments that some reporters have made.
Also, there have been some incredibly stupid comments made right here on this message board regarding recent events. Fighting ignorance indeed.
After seeing the same comedian, I decided the folks I worked with would find it funny as well, so I told it around the office. The next day, I found a xeroxed copy of a page of the dictionary with “gullible” highlighted. Thanx for reminding me!
Last night, while having a few beers with a friend at Hooters, her friend arrived to fill out a job application. While were chatting, the friend asked me where I lived. My house had burned down a short time ago, and was explaining this to her when she said “Omigod! Your house burned down! Did you get out?” Do you know what it feels like to spew beer through your nose?
