Once, in London when I had to go to a public restroom they had pink toilet paper, I was sitting there like WHY?????

Do Leprechauns really exist ?

To which the only fair reply is "Yes, of course, I see them playing at the bottom of my garden every evening before sunset".

In defence of tourists coming to the US this is not that dumb, most people outside the US live in towns and cities that were not constructed on a simple grid system with systematic numbering but evolved over few thousand years with individually named streets at all kinds of interlocking angles.

And a block is a lump of wood to me, could be 2 streets? or ten streets?

Admittedly it only took a couple of mins to work out the enormously logical street layout when I stepped out of Grand central but I had NO idea before then. I don't think this can be compared with "Do you have TV and Cars in UK"? As i was asked once by a chap who followed me round Wal-Mart one fine new Mexico morning!

I was asked be an American when I was in Monaco how long it took me to drive here, he wasn't aware of the English Channel, after I had explained I actually flew and there was water seperating the UK and mainland Europe he suggested they build a bridge. He was nice but dim

PREDOMINANT said:

wow, that IS pretty stupid! what kind of moron thinks the UK would have cars or TVs?!?

We're catching up slowly, it's not HD, but it's a start.

Anx said:

I don't think he was particularly typical of an average US joe. He followed me round until he plucked up the courage to ask me if i was Australian

dunno how many times i've answered this question when an out-of-towner sees me walking around downtown minneapolis:

tourist: where's nicollet mall?

me (pointing towards the mall): you see that street there? that's hennepin. it's the next street over.

tourist: yeah, but...where's the mall?

me: uh...nicollet mall ain't a shopping mall. it's a street.

tourist: wha??? really?

me: yep.

We don't have tourists in Detroit, so I'm never asked these questions

My friend ~insert name~ lives in England, do you know him?

LleeLlee said:

well, do you?!

LleeLlee said:

I got that a surprising number of times when I was in New York.

You're from Ireland. Wow! Do you know John Murphy, he's from Cork, I think.

I know Ireland is a small country but it's not that small. There are 4 million of us, after all.

Good Lord. I am by far one of the stupidest Americans ever, but I don't come close to my two best friends who didn't believe me when I corrected them (after they suggested a European backpacking trip that included the UK) when they thought we'd be able to drive from France to London.

Agh, I should have let them try.

INSATIABLE said:

You can, sort of. You can take your car on the Eurostar train which goes under the English Channel Tunnel which is affectionately known as 'The Chunnel'.

AsylumUtopia said:

I know about the damned Chunnel.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Yes of course, I'll call him

LleeLlee said:

please remind him that he owes me 500 bucks!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

What's his name again?

LleeLlee said:

you said you knew him!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

I only met him once in foggy London town, he was sweeping a chimney

IrresistibleB1tch said:

His phone's busy. Doesn't he have call waiting?!

Yeah, but come on...a block is a block regardless of whether it's on a grid or not. Rome, Paris, Cannes, Amsterdam, etc. weren't build as grids (iirc) but one can still walk down the block...

You know us New Yorkers...rude Rude RUDE! Now get the fuck outta my way! j/k

am i really your first?
