Stupid Tourists
What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

In Silicon Valley,
we don't have many tourists--mostly business travelers--so I can't offer any amusing story about a British dude mispronouncing our many Spanish city names or asking if LA is only twenty minutes away, but man, you should see how they burn in the sun.
