Default The stupidest question EVER...

I was checking in at a campsite in Sydney.. and this is how the convo went:

Her : "how many kids"

Me: "two"

Her: "what are their ages?"

Me: "10 years old and 11 years old"

Her: "Are they twins?"

Me: "errrrrrr... no"

I had to start laughing !!!!! The girl just didnt have a clue why I thought it was funny!

Me: Two fishcakes and chips please.

Slack-jawed youth: Fishcakes will be 15 mins.

Me: OK I'll have two sausage and chips.

Slack-jawed youth: They'll be 15 mins aswell.

Me: Right,I'll have the fishcakes then.

Slack-jawed youth: We haven't got any.

Me: Okaaaay give me the sausages then.

Slack-jawed youth: Do you want two sausages,or a portion of sausages?

Me: How many is in a portion?

Slack-jawed youth: Two.


Extreme violence ensued.

Daughter's friend to me "Wow, you really look like H!"
Me "if we're being picky, she actually looks like me" (she doesn't IMO)
Friend "I've known her for ages, you definitely look like her"
Me "Oh ok then"

Me (very white skinned and blond/brown hair) and older brother (also white, white blond hair) in immigration office submitting details about our family;

Immi Official: 'So you are the biological children of your listed parents?'
Us: 'Yes' (proceed to hand over birth certs etc.
Immi Official: (after looking at our birth certs and confirming that we are biologically related to both our parents and to each other) 'So, your Mother is Irish and your Father is Zimbabwean?"
Us: 'Yes".
Immi: 'Is your father black then?'

It took me a good 30 seconds to answer and I was incredulous - I guess it's possible to have pale white children but unlikely - I suppose she thought everyone from Zimbabwe was black! Don't even know why she asked!

That's because certain coloured cars are more prone to accidents than others. Car insurance premium might be higher.

Twins can have seperate birthdays though. Only a few minutes seperate myself from my twin and myself being born on different days......(!) so if you count whole days, then it might have been possible for one of us to be a year older seemingly for a day.
