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

At work I supervise a young lad called Matt.
He's comedy gold. We actually keep a file of his quotes... for example (and no word of a lie);
"Mexico City? Where's that?"
"What happened at the end of Titanic?"
"How long was the four minute mile?"
"I say 'just like that'. Just like that Tommy Lee Cooper."
"Beef Stroganoff? Isn't that a type of big lorry?"
And my personal favourite... he was singing "Mmm-bop" by Hanson at his desk.
Me: "I hope you're not singing Hanson..."
Matt: "What?"
Me: "Hanson - the group who did that stupid song you're singing."
Matt (after a lengthy pause): "You mean that person who killed all those people wrote that song?"
After a bit of head scratching we realised the perfectly reasonable confusion with Charles Manson.
Genius.
