    My Mum - "Where does the Mexican wave come from?"
    Actually more likely to have started in the States, so perhaps not so stupid ;)

    Question on Blockbusters : "What 'I' is a middle-eastern religion".. he shouts out "Indu"..

    A News reports about Israeli soldiers filmed beating up Palestinian children. His comment : "Jesus. And these people call themselves Christians..."

    Probably the most stupid thing my wife ever said was "Yes Russ, I'd love to marry you"

    When playing golf:

    1) "Don't worry enjoy the walk"...if I wanted to go for a walk I would hump 25kg of golf clubs with me
    2) "Trees are 80% air"...really try hitiing 10 golf balls at a tree and see if 8 go straight through

    In certain circumstances murder should be legal

    How about Rio Ferdinand when he took over as England captain from John Terry "It's my turn to pick up the mantlepiece"

    An ex girlfriend of mine asked me who won in the end when we were watching Saving Private Ryan

    And also said "what does a football captain do? Does he ring all the other players and ask if they want to play?"

    Palm to head!

    An American asking for directions to Shakespeare's house at Stratford station.
    I should add that this is Stratford, East London.

    It's a bit like Ian Rush who referred to living in Italy as "it's like living in a foreign country"

    I heard a woman at the bus stop at Woolwich Arsenal the other day directions to somewhere, to which the American lady replied, "I'm sorry i dont know I only moved here to Greenwich yesterday"

    Reminds me of trying to help a Japanese tourist in distress at Paddington station some years ago, almost in tears. Seems she'd spent most the day of the asking people how to get to Heathrow for a flight to Turkey, and had been taken by a taxi driver to Paddington, thinking she was trying to get to Torquay...

    I remember playing Trivial Persuit with the family at xmas one year, and I had my (now) ex-wife on my side. Asked to name a famous jockey, she replied.........

    Jockey Wilson.

    Similar to one I heard, some game at Christmas we were playing and one of the females in the room had the question "Name a famous Policeman" her response "John Constable".

    That's brilliant. Must be a joke, surely. Hope not though.

    Given my job as a military historian, my beautiful wife who I met at scholl still gets confused and occasionally calls it Napoleons Column in Trafalagar Square!

    More amusing is her incapacity to remember whether she likes dupiaza or dhansak when ordering a curry, in girls world one is a lot hotter than the other!

    A few years ago a fella who works for me missing for a while one afternoon finally answers his phone.
    I asked " What's happened you've not been answering your phone?"

    He ans " Got a puncture"

    Me: " Well how did the tyre go down?"

    Deadly serious his ans was " WHOOOOOSSHH"

    My daughter 14 yrs old at the time listening on speakerphone went in hysterics.

    I said "Woosh?"

    He replied "Yer it came out the side of the tyre."

    Priceless!
