What's the stupidest thing you're heard recently?
 
Apart from about the latest Dubai building projects...

Someone I know has just said "I honestly thought the game of dominos was lining them up and flicking them." She's 30 years old. :blink:

"yes I am on 1 month's notice"

"Ok, great"

"but for me to move from Dubai back to India, I think start date should be after March 2013"

my sister thought QR codes were magic eye pictures, and has been staring at them to try and see the hidden image.

A girl at Barasti on Friday night (not my choice of venue before anyone comments)

"This guy was chatting to me and he says he's Spanish....that means he's from Spain right?"

At this point, to the horror of my Mrs I choked on my drink, laughed in her face and walked off.

My favourite type of dog.

Closely followed by a Great Dane.

Already been reliably informed that when I am willing to get a dog I'm not allowed either. Apparently only Golden Retrievers will do.
