I am currently in the USA and had an interesting conversation with a guy at a bar last night, we were talking about traveling and he made the following comments:
“China is a great country but you must watch what you eat, I hate the way they cook their sushi”

“I loved visiting London, they are so polite and friendly, after that I wanted to go to the UK but they would not let me in at the boarder”

I also once told someone here that I am South African and work in London, the response was “Man, how long does it take you to commute to work”

There are a lot more but these I thought were quite funny, what do you do when someone comes out with strange comments?

Quote: while I was in the US and in a discussion about me coming from England, I was asked if we: "spoke English over there"...

I'm equally guilty. A while ago when I met a Singaporean friend I complimented her on her English, that she really spoke it at a native level. She told me 'Actually it's the only language I can speak'.

Apparently English is the main language in Singapore. I didn't know.

Like Marks comment, my wife was checking into a Hyatt Regency a few years back, somewhere on the west coast I think, and she too was told she spoke really good English for someone from England. When she asked the receptionist what language she thought she'd speak she said French!!

This says it all..... Jaywalking

I've been to Singapore and i didnt now that, only for 7 hours though on route to New Zealand.

Once had a 3 legged dog called Sandy, she lost it when she was a puppy, her front leg. While in the town park i was throwing the ball for her, giving her a good run around.

Kid came over and asked questions about her, one question was Do you have to help her stand up and lay down? and another was Do you think it will grow back? Had to suppress a laugh with that one.
