The Dumbest Thing I've Heard All Week, Weekly Award

The Runner Up: "Does Wayne Gretzky still play basketball?" Why yes, yes he does and Michael Jordan is killing it in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Andddd Winner for the first annual dumbest thing I've heard all week, weekly award goes to a girl from America, from the OC in particular. The exchange went accordingly:  Me: Yea, I'm from North Carolina. Her: Oh that's cool, I just stayed over at my friend's house who's from Connecticut. That's close to North Carolina right?
Why yes, yes it is. It's a little known fact really, but NC is also known as North Connecticut.
Hurray dumb people! Hurray America!

p.s. When people ask me where I'm from, I say The States. A lot of people then get a little tiny bit offended because I'm not specific enough and go, oh cool, where in America and I'm thinking look, if I was from NY or Cali I would have said it, but ok "I'm from North Carolina" and then I get a blank stare and just go, "The South"
