Dumb Things People Told You?

(usually when you were a kid), you believed %26amp; then later learned it was totally false.





It could've been something your parents told you just to shut you up, or some dumb school yard hearsay about any topic. Whatever...





I've heard my share, but among the dumber ones I was told as a young teen was that in those old 70s kung-fu flicks made in China, they actually killed off the actors to help decrease the population.





Yeah. %26amp; then they'd pay of the families for their "sacrifice".





Yep. Schoolyard wisdom...

Reply:This is a true story. I was working outdoors and it was about 17 degrees, probably 15 or 20 degrees below the norm for Mississippi. I went into a truck stop to get some coffee and not being a big coffee drinker, I didn't want a half gallon or anything like that. I asked a waitress behind the counter what was the biggest cup of coffee I could get, hoping to maybe view the sizes of "to-go" cups they had. She looked me right in the eye and said, "A large." I waited for the laugh and all the fanfare that come when somebody is being sarcastic sometimes but, sadly, it never came. I just looked back at her and after an awkward silence said, gimmie one of those then.
