which leads to one of the funniest things i have ever heard that proves the usa is the land of the idiot and home of the dumb.

in june myself and 3 friends went on holiday to orlando/new york. while in new york we hit a bar in the village and werent particularly enjoying it.

funny moment a LARGE black woman sits beside my mate and goes "you smell good" his instant reaction was "no i dont".

but thats not all, a few minutes later these black guys(BG) sit near us and start chatting away.

BG - so where ya'll from
US - ireland
BG - where dat?
US - (holding back the laughter) in europe, you know near france, england?
BG - sorry i dont got my geography, you all take the train?

When I was outside a Burger King in San Francisco, this guy came over to us and ask us all the same sort of questions, like where were we from etc. After a few minutes of small talk, during which he was telling us how San Fran and New York are the only cities in America that aren't fake, his friend comes out with their food. The two walk off and we overhear them saying:

<GUY1> Man, those guys are from waaaay over there! *big throw of his hand*
<GUY2> Where? East Coast?!

Was introduced to an American one night. When he asked me where I was from and I replied Dublin, he said "Oh, yeah, that's near London right?"
A bit shocked, I replied no and tried to explain to him the Ireland was an island... beside England. I think I completely lost him at this point coz he kept arguing with me about where Dublin was. (Dude, I live there!!)
Anyway, after a long search I managed to find an atlas and opened it on the page where only Ireland and England are shown. It's a map, so the distance between thee 2 islands is not that huge.

After I had shown him the difference between England/Ireland and London/Dublin, he asked if I could swim from one country to the other. So amazed at his questions I decided to have some fun and told him that Irish people do this all the time. he reconed it should not take that long to swim coz "it's so small dude!" Keeping in mind how long it takes the ferry to cross, I told him that we usually swim it in about 40 minutes or so.

The conversation just got worse from there on and he believed everything I told him. Everyone else in the room (also Americans) were doubling over with laughter at the amount of BS I was comin out with.

With a target like that, you just get carried away

He proabaly still thinks we all must be olympic swimmers :rolleyes:

I once told an american that my uncle was a leprechaun.
She asked did he live in an under-hill house like the hobbits in LOTR do.
I replied of course, sure where do you think they filmed those scenes.
She was mucho impressed

I went to look at the Phil Lynott statue after it was unveiled last Friday night. There was a crowd around it. An American couple were standing nearby and I heard them asking who he was. I told the woman it was Phil Lynott. She had never heard of him. I told her he was a very famous Irish Rock star. She asked me was he dead?
