Heard anyone say anything stupid recently?

Just Today!

As many of you may know, my Graphic Design Teacher is really stupid, here are some of his quotes.
- "Macs cannot read GIF images"
- "Macs cannot read most audio files"
- (today)
me: "Hey mr. d. you wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the outside of the school"
him: "Uhhh, no, you can look in the Clipart folder. But off the top of head I don't have any"
(sounds a little funny, having a material item off the top of your head)


"Names Hurt" (ADL assembly)

2) Last year in English, I asked my teacher what [sic] meant in a text. He said "For example." My response? "I can't think of one right now..." :eek:

Perhaps you mean e.g.
 
This happend right rafter Katrina:
It's a conversation between me and a girl in my class...

me: Did you hear about the bad hurricane in Lousianna?
girl: No! What hurricane?
...
...
me:all of the people are being evacuated from Lousianna and being sent to Texas.
girl: They're moving them to the United States?
 
The other day in my science class I asked a kinda embarrassing question.

A friend and I got into an argument wether ponies were real animals or not. So I decided to ask the teacher. I never got the real answer though because she fell over laughing and didn't stop for at least 5 minutes. I had always thought that ponies were imaginary animals like unicorns :eek:. Oh well.

My girlfriend lived in Louisiana for 16 years. I always tease her about the state being too dumb to have been invited to the U.S....so I can sort of laugh at that girls comment.
 
one of my friends is the great-grandsons of sigmund freud

and he said yeah
her: "wasn't he that doctor person"
he: "not really"
her: "wait... wasn't he that guy with the tigers??"

CA's education is thrid worse in the nation, the only states that were worse than us were Louisiana & Mississippi. :eek:
 
At school...

At school 2 days ago I was walking past a group of the stoners/pot smokers in the school and they were talking about there drugs and what the tried that weekend... the normal druggie talk (I suppose, dont socalize with them) and right behind them a teacher was listening. I don't know what happened to them buy they didnt seem to look so happy was she was talking to them:rolleyes: I havnt seen them in a few days.
 
Here's one:

A couple of days ago, my friend and I were parked outside of a Subway and she was reading a sign that said, "Open 7 days a week!"

She looked at me and said, "So what day are they closed?"


:eek:

:D

I really do mean [sic]. If his definition was incorrect, please tell me now before I sound like more of an idiot. I never did trust that guy. An English teacher who knows the English language? Never....

Your English teacher is wrong [sic.] is as described by the earlier poster. I always remember it as short for sincere (honestly meaning what your saying even if it's wrong)

Sic (Latin), [sic] representing "thus" or "as it is written here". This is often a short-hand indicating that a quoted source contains an error. For example, "I’ve missspelled this" becomes "I’ve missspelled [sic] this", when quoted by a later author who sees the spelling error and wishes to indicate that the source material contained the error, i.e. it was not introduced by the quoting author. However, correctly used, sic indicates only that the source is accurately shown, regardless of how wrong it may appear, and does not have to indicate an error at all.

Co-Worker: "Do you know where the drill is?"

Me: "No."

Co-Worker: "Is it outside?"

I get these kinds of questions all the time from these guy's. It's amazing.
 
Overheard two women talking in the locker room at my gym tonight.

One of them is telling the other that she is interested in entering a program to learn ultrasound.

The response from the other lady: "Oh, is that like a court recorder?"

:confused: How she could have possibly been that far off base I have no idea.

I mean, how do people this stupid even make it through the day??

Nay!

"Sic" means "intentionally written in a certain way," such that if someone has misspelled a word, and you're quoting that someone, the "sic" indicates that you are not the misspelling moron, but rather the conscientious author being faithful to the misspelling moron.

It's also how you would spell "sic" as in "sic 'em, boy!"

I believe it also stands for Silicon Integrated Circuitry.

That's sic.

A girl I have known for a long time was convinced that it was the Mediteran, not the mediteranean even after I showed her on a map how it was spelled. This same girl also pronouned salmon like sal-mon.

I always remember it as "So it Ceys" (with "says" spelled wrong obviously) Kinda fitting, no?

I used to work in at home tech support for pc's mainly. This one regular customer I had was always having trouble with this "digical" photos. On one occasion he informed me that his computer was "doing something a bit queer" and he took it upon himself to run the "disk deFAG" but with no avail.

I still laugh at that one.
 
I go to a school that started programs for LD/ADD students (they were one of the first in the US) and one kid goes at the dining hall "I cant study my A.D.D. is having A.D.D."
