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.

It's probably late enought to slip this one in here...... without my girlfriend who reads b3ta seeing.
We had not long started going out and one of the pleasant side effects of this was that we were still exploring each others homelands and the pubs which we otherwise wouldn't have visited. It was my second visit so I had sort of discovered my way around, at least the two streets nearest Leamington station.
On the way to the last pub before I should really have been getting back we realise we have both run out of money.
"Don't worry" says I "That corner shop has a cash machine in. I was in earlier whilst waiting for you. It'll charge you, but better than walking up to the top of town"
Naturally still wanting to give the impression of courtesy I let her go first and wander off to look at the Haribo. Which is ridiculously priced. And the magazines, the only interesting ones of which would definitely have given the wrong impression to a new girlfriend. And the cakes, which will not go well with beer. And... This is taking some time thinks I, so I go to help seeing her face as a picture of concentration...
... trying to force a pound coin into the card slot and 25 pence still in hand.
Naturally courtesy dictated I put the card in for her and let the screen enlighten to as to her mistake rather than mock.
At least until we were out of the shop.
And for the next 15 minutes or so.
