Give me the stupidest statements you've ever heard [View All]

Stupid questions are funny, but I personally enjoy stupid comments that are made with complete authority. Here's mine, it's long, but damn funny:

I was at my nephew's winter program with the family. The kids sang songs about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. My mother (very republican)says, "I hate this multi-cultural crap. All the kids are white!" True enough, this is small town Nebraska, but I respond, "Well maybe one of them is Jewish."

My step-father (also republican) says, in all seriousness, "Yeah, but there aren't any Australians here!" I have no clue what he's getting at, so I say "Well no, probably not..." He replies, "So why the Kwanzaa song?"

He said it loud enough that everyone near us heard him, literally 15 people are staring at him like he's got 3 heads. I say, "Um, Kwanzaa is for African-Americans. WTF does Australia have to do with anything?" He says, "Australia. Kangaroos. Kiwi...Kwanzaa!" Obviously by now he's realizing he's wrong, but refuses to back down. I'm still trying to figure out where he came up with it, when it dawns on me. I burst out laughing an practially yell "Qantas!! OMG, that's an AIRLINES!!!"

Needless to say, everyone around us was laughing hysterically. I think I'll buy him a Kwanzaa card and a beanie baby kangaroo for Christmas. ;)
