This is a question Stupid Tourists

What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

I used to work on the river
Taking tourists down the Nantahala in North Carolina. The best (or worst?) I've heard:

"Do the rocks go all the way to the bottom?"
No, they float, but we anchor them down so they don't go anywhere.

"Does the river end where we started?"
Yup, this is the only river in the world that goes in a circle.
