Hawaii is not really going overseas for an American when it is part of the 50 states.

My friend who thought if you have sex at night you won't get pregnant as the sperm are asleep.

She also asked me if she was there when she banged her head on the cupboard door in her house.

She also wanted to do something nice for her bf while he was at work so she reversed his 2yr old Audi out of the garage and washed it for him....With a sponge scourer that you use for dishes

Many of the islands aren’t actually part of the states, some you needed suddenly to show a passport to visit. flights anywhere reduced drastically at that time due to fear. Many saw Hawaii as a lot more vulnerable since it had been a target in WW2. There were a lot of factors at play.

Most Americans know Hawaii is part of the US but fear of longer flights was a valid and real thing at that time. It is considered overseas for the majority of Americans as we leave the continental part and go over a sea. We don’t use the term just to mean another country. It’s a lot farther than say, England to France.

I’m a flight attendant and was doing so during 911, I know the impact it had on the industry. Many of my colleague lost jobs due to lack of passengers, especially from the US.

leaving the switch on does use a bit of electricity it is very miniscule but you need to break the circuit, that's why if a plug socket is switched on when you plug something in sometimes you may see a flash. so not so stupid.

Watching the big match on telly, I got quite annoyed by the moving ad. boards round the edge of the pitch. I turned to my mate to say "You'd think that they'd have had no trouble selling advertising slots for a big game like this.

I thought identical twins were when an egg has split. An egg can't split and make a boy and a girl - it makes two the same sex.

That flash is the shorting of contacts as the plug completes the circuit. Literally no energy can be used up by leaving the switch on and the socket empty I promise you. Unless there's a serious wiring error.... or my training was incorrect.

Identical (monozygotic) twins are always of the same sex because they form from a single zygote (fertilized egg) that contains either male (XY) or female (XX) sex chromosomes. ... A set of boy/girl twins canonly be fraternal (dizygotic). Boy/girl twinscannot be identical (monozygotic).

I was once asked - by an adult - if a penguin was a fish or a mammal.

Naturally, I was taken aback, since it's a bird and I made that point.

When I asked the same question to a couple of colleagues, in order to get them to laugh at it - they considered it and one said they didn't know and the other said it was a fish.

I shit you not. It was depressing.

When taking someone's food order once, I asked the customer if they would like mushy peas or garden peas with their fish and chips. They asked what the difference was.

Another customer asked for his gammon to be rare, I explained that we couldn't cook Gammon rare as it was pork, and had to be served at a certain temperature.

He argued with me, saying that gammon wasnt pork as he'd been eating it for years and he was a muslim, so couldn't eat pig.

Sounds utterly stupid, but in the USA, President Trump would ring other World Leaders at wherever he was in the country.

White House officials had to advise him there were different time zones across the world, not just in the USA!

Another American dumbass idiot!

There was the case about 20 years ago when a guy in his Winnebago Motor Home, when cruising down the Interstate, got up from his driving seat to make a cup of coffee! His vehicle then crashed!

He sued Winnebago with his defence being it didn't state in the Manual against leaving the wheel whilst driving!

He won his case, and Winnebago had to amend their manual.

Only in America!

I used to manage a warehouse and the sales manager rang me one day as he needed to get back to a customer with some info.

His question was completely genuine and he seemed foxed as to why I said 'are you taking the piss'!? when responding.

He asked how big is a 20ft and a 40ft container.

Well, they'll be 20ft and 40ft respectively

"Sounds utterly stupid, but in the USA, President Trump would ring other World Leaders at wherever he was in the country.

White House officials had to advise him there were different time zones across the world, not just in the USA!

Another American dumbass idiot!

There was the case about 20 years ago when a guy in his Winnebago Motor Home, when cruising down the Interstate, got up from his driving seat to make a cup of coffee! His vehicle then crashed!

He sued Winnebago with his defence being it didn't state in the Manual against leaving the wheel whilst driving!

He won his case, and Winnebago had to amend their manual.

Only in America!"

Sorry to put a downer on the great Winnebago story, but it's fake news as Trump would say - the Grazinski lawsuit story did the rounds and is still widely thought true, but,alas, never happened and Winnebago never had to rewrite the manual......

My aunt told me and my sister she wanted to walk part of the great wall of China.

My sister said "oh really, I thought they knocked it down in the 80's".

We had to explain that it was the Berlin Wall she was thinking of.

More a failing in sex education. Almost like saying people who think the clitoris is just the little nubbin at the top are stupid - that's all textbooks show.

Actually true, drinking something hot raises your core temperature forcing the body to react by dilating blood vessels to radiate heat

North East Scotland, mostly

Once in a FB local thread, someone asked about the new average speed cameras. She wondered whether it was a daily or weekly average. She asked because she’d gone far too fast through them, and wanted to work out what speed she needed to go back through them to average out her speed to below the limit. I wish I’d kept the thread, the responses were brilliant. Mr.

If you need to cool down, your core temperature is already raised and your bodies cooling mechanisms are already working and probably overwhelmed. Adding extra heat will only make you warmer.

"People who think that microwaves cook food from the inside out

They do!

sort of.... The microwaves penetrate about a couple of centimeters into the item being cooked. Bigger things get cooked through by the conduction of heat from the inner layers to the centre

Erm, become a site supporter, see your previous messages or don't lie in the first place perhaps? Or get a better memory.

We use the private notes function extensively, we even time and date stamp the notes (Yes we’re both OCD and laugh at each other!), the number of Fabbers, both singles and couples, who quite literally lie and bull shit is ridiculous!

“We’ve never messaged you before” is our favourite, even when you screenshot the thread and send it back to them!
