Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

A day out at the Sea Life CentreThis particular Sea Life Centre had a seal sanctuary in it. The Terry Nutkins Seal Sanctuary no less.
Any by god they were proud of their seals. Everywhere you went you'd see a sign telling you about the Terry Nutkins Seal Sanctuary. And when you eventually reached the tunnel that led to the seals, you also reached a frenzy of signage:
"Seals This Way!"
"This way to the Seals!"
"Welcome to the TERRY NUTKINS SEAL SANCTUARY!"
"Get Ready to See THE SEALS!"
"YOU ARE ALMOST AT THE TERRY NUTKINS SEAL SANCTUARY"
We pushed through the final door emblazoned with the legend "HERE ARE THE SEALS!", and walked under a banner reading "SEALS! SEALS! SEALS!"
And the woman in front of us exclaimed in delight "OO! Look at all the lovely sealions!"

I used to work for Sea Life....….. many moons ago. This particular Sea Life Centre didn't have seals, nor did it advertise seals, but that didn't stop people from being disappointed when they couldn’t find the damned non-existent seals. One old guffer even argued with me that we HAD in fact advertised seals. “LOOK!” he exclaimed – “you even call this place the Seal Life centre’.
Oh the fun we had with punters who had a complete lack of gorm! – I regularly had visitors asking me if they had seen everything. How the hell would I know? I usually replied by telling them that there was a small crab they missed in tank number 3.
We had people popping in to ask if we sold honey, and someone asked if we sold socks. The most stunning display of ignorance however was a lady who, having spent 3 hours in the centre, asked if they were real fish! She went on to explain that she thought “they may be on bits of string”.
