It’s all from awhile ago, but:
So what’s in mincemeat candy, anyway?
I worked at a seaside resort on the ocean in a small harbor. I would hang out at the kayak tour docks and tourists would say ask all kinds of dumb things, like:
“How big is this lake anyway” - Um it covers the whole Earth.
“So, does this water go in and out?” (She was talking about the ebb and flow of the water.) My friend replied, “Um yeah, it goes out in the winter and comes back in the summer. :rolleyes:” “Hmmm…interesting.” she replied.
I think I must have overheard the best questions in schools:
“So… what’s the difference between an anus and a penis?” (8th grade biology)
“Who won the Civil War, us or the French?” (10th grade history)
“The Supreme Court’s taking away my rights! Like abortion!” (a male student in 12th grade history)
A visiting relative spotted the sun shield that I had put up in my car and asked, “How can you see where you’re going with that thing in front of you?” :rolleyes:
For whatever it’s worth:
I just went to see “AI” yesterday, in hopes of catching it before I saw spoilers.
As I left, I overheard two guys in front of me. One of them said, “You know, I liked this movie a lot better last year, when it was ‘Bicentennial Man.’”
Sitting at Java City last week; temperature at about 100. Teenaged girl says, “I’ve been eating salads a lot lately. They’re good and cheaper than other food.” Second girl says, “My mom has a garden and can grow the stuff even cheaper.” First girl replies, “Eewwww! Do you mean they grow salad stuff in, like, dirt? Gross!”
This one I’ve posted before, but I love it so much: Sitting around the lunch table at work, discussing how much we like the Harry Potter books. Woman says, “Well, if they’re that good, how come nobody ever wrote them before?”
