"Would you like to buy some guns?" and "Are you from Romania?"

Both from an insane Militia Member/Taxi Driver in Scottsdale, 1 week after arriving in the country on a holiday.

I was once asked by a customer if that is a British accent, when I told him it was he asked if I got it in Britain. I told him no, I got it at Sears, it was on sale! His friends found it hilarious, he didn't for some reason. I've also been welcomed to a democracy.

A checkout girl at wal mart asked me today - do you want a reciept for that? I was buying bog roll so I thought it was a dumb question. I said - naa love, I'm pretty sure I won't be returning it. Her face went from blank, to sudden realisation, to utter horror. humourless cow!!

Oh wait, just thought of a couple. Might have mentioned them before in a similar thread but here goes. The wifes dad (who is a f ookin Dr!!!) while watching a doco about princess di's demise asked me: So, is that why they got divorced then? Totally seriously. My beer went down my nose!!!! Did big ears divoirce her coz she got killed in a car wreck.

During another doco about Pearl Harbour: So, I guess that's what started WW2 then? That was when I began to have some rather nagging doubts about this place

They would an all with my bog roll. No way am I paying top dollar for something I am going to wipe my own shit all over.

That might cause a stir though, if you took a load of it back while holding up a brown finger and demanding your money back. They would prolly change it here if I had took the receipt!!!

You're having a laugh mate...if you did that here you'd get 6 months on some "moral turpitude" charge.

Where did you learn to speak English so well?

Do you speak American?

(Wrong phone number call) Did I get a number in England? I am calling from Tampa, Florida in the USA.
