Pure Ignorance
What astonishingly stupid stuff have you overheard people saying? Tell us, and tell the world.

Working in the cinema...
...You get to hear a thing or two. First there's the "what's the difference?"
Man: Can I have some nachos please?
Me: Sure. Would you like cheese or salsa with your nachos?
Man: What's the difference?
Me: Well... One's kind of runny cheese sauce and the other is salsa.
Man: What's salsa?
Me: Well...
and
Chav: I'll have a popcorn combo.
Me: Sweet or salted popcorn?
Chav: What's the difference?
*cue all co-workers going off on 'coughing fits' while I try to keep a straight face*
Then the other week:
Woman: Excuse me, but I'm watching this Lemony Snicket, but there's no Lemony Snicket in it. It's only got Jim Carrey.
Man looking at my name badge: Is that your favourite film, Seven Samurai?
Me: One of them.
MLAMNB: Yeah, Tom Cruise is a great actor, isn't he?
And just for the sake of it, I'll mention this randomly overheard sentence one girl was saying to another in a Greek restaurant: "So, if someone tried to chop the head off, you wouldn't mind?"
