The defining moment of my trip to the US was when a checkout assistant asked "Does England have dollars as well" to which the reply was "No its Sterling, British pounds" and the reply "Is that really a currency?" What can you do but piss yourself laughing lol

She probably thought "sterling silverware" and believes Brits walk around with spoons and forks and then buy things with them. LMAO.

Americans, I have to admit, are a stupid fucking lot in general. If you've ever seen Leno's man-on-the-street segments or that game show "Street Smarts" you know there are some amazingly stupid people out there. (And you'll notice they always film these things in LA too. LOL)

Ahem ... :)

In general ... en mass .... and the same can be said about "people" from any and every other country.

What was it they said in the movie Men in Black?

"People are intelligent; they can handle it."

"No, an individual person can be intelligent; people en mass are stupid, violent, frightened animals."

... so there! :P
