Default The daft things people say ...

When I went to see Terminator 2, some years ago ..alright, alright ..bloody years ago ..lol ... I was walking out with my boyfriend and I said I really enjoyed it ..it was just great entertainment value ..lol

The young couple behind us I could hear speaking and the girl said she thought it was all a bit far fetched when the metal man made an appearance ..I just couldnt help but laugh and think ..

the metal man is a bit far fetched but ..a robotic Terminator from the future comes back in time to kil.l and alter the course of history ..that sits alright with you??

What really dumb things have you guys heard people say??

One night, a long, long time ago, my friend, my mom and I are out in the driveway. We are used to seeing a lot of planes in the sky, with the Philly airport and the Boeing plant nearby. This time we see something at reasonable distance, but it's looks l ike a flame. It's not really moving, just kind of hovering. So my mom goes and calls the police. First words out of her mouth, "Has anyone reported a fire in the sky?"

Is a triple negtive OK then?

"I didn't not do nothing."

I can understand that perfectly...

I used to work for a pizza chain. This was back in the early 90's and caller ID was as prevalent as it is today. So, we would ask the caller for their phone number and plug it into the computer. Then we would say "you're at XYZ street?" Occasionally, someone would ask, "How did you know that?" My response was usually, I'm psychic or I have a crystal ball. Many times I would get "Really?!"

"I didn't not do nothing."

To not do nothing means to do something .. so .. I didn't "do something" ..puts it back to .. I did nothing!!

Yes I think that puts it back to ..I did nothing ..which is what our verbally challenged friend meant

I am sure Spirit can clarify this better ...





I can understand that perfectly...


Yes, yes ..you would!! ..lol

I was laying on my back after being run over by a friend driving his dad's car, (I flew through the air, hit the ground, kept moving along the ground (gravel road) hit a pole, which broke my arm & gave me concussion) & this guy walked up, looked down at me & said 'Are you alright?'

It was Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale and a bunch of my buddies came down from New York, I walk in the hotel room and there is a guy looking at himself in a full length mirror sliding his oily hands up and down his chest, he looks at me and says in his best John Travolta voice, 'I love to oil my body'. Needless to say I started drinking heavily.
