What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard?

dumbest thing I've heard...hmmm...a lady once told me snakes have no personality....I doubled over laughing as I showed her the difference between nice corn snake and grumpy pine snake...mwa ha ha ha ha...:wavey:
 
First, in the response to the "all animals are predisposed to be wild at one point in their lives" statement. No, that is simply untrue. Their are many animals that have been truly domesticated and, while some may be able to survive on their own in the wild, many simply cannot. I for one am glad we have domesticated some animals. I like chicken, bacon, and steak!

As far as the dumbest question I have gotten....
"Do you worship the devil"
"Why would you think that?"
"I heard you keep snakes."
"Uh...Yeah?"
"Don't you know snakes are evil?... Their from the devil!"

LOL I still get a chuckle out of that one.

Scott,
You mean you dont wear that Goat Skull and leather Fur Chaps for religious reasons? What kinda gatherings have I been going to??
 
i've gotten the "your a devil worshipper since you have snakes" and "the devil turned himself into a snake, so your the devil" i just say.... if the devil has those powers, he can turn into a cheese sandwich too!!! would they be evil?? i get the "does it try to eat your cats/dogs?" OH!! in the newest reptiles magazine it says corns rarely get more than 3 feet long... WOW i must have some rare corns.... some are actually around 5 feet... i should be famous!!! OH and i think this is funny... my mother in law insists snakes are slimy... shes touched one of my ball pythons and says its cool feeling, but when shes around her friends, she calls them slimy.....
OH! and she said "why do you keep them? you should sell them, breeding doesnt make you any money" yeah.... i'm in it just for the money.... this lady also thinks i was flirting with my husbands cousin.... b/c i am the only one in the family who will talk to him... psycho....
 
Nicole,

That was an amazing thread! I LOVE religious discussions! We have a lot of really intelligent, thoughtful people on this list. I'm keeping mum about my religion because another thread like that could start, take the bit and run away with people. But WOW!

And where can I buy "The Book of Wade"? I'll trade it for an edition of "Uncle Atli's Very Thin Book of Wisdom".

lol. It was a lot easier to link it then try and explain it. I have seen that guy a few more times but he does not say anything. Lots of glares.

Doesn't that include chickens, cows, rabbits, sheep, dogs,etc as all animals are wild at one point of there existance and just because you buy cute little flopsy from the petshop doesn't mean it's not predisposed to be wild.

Everything that you have just listed are domesticated. They aren't built for the wild. Setting them free would be well... just murder.

I thought we already established the fact that those are, in fact, waffles.

I remember standing outside and someone asked what kind of snake I was holding. I told him it was a hamster.. he shook his head ok in agreement and left.

I dont know why this has anything to do with Waffles but I like Waffles.

But the point being made is that they were ORIGINALLY wild animals. The fact that the excessive line breeding and domestication has nothing to do with the original point. Even though the animal has been domesticated, it still has wild instincts, even if it doesn't have the know how to survive in the wild.
 
I see it happened to someone else...but I swear my favorite that I have gotten was the
"do the frozen mice just come back to life?" Ummmm if so....I am going to be very VERY rich.
 
My best friend came over one day and we were looking at my collection and she asked "When they poo, what does it smell like"

It smells like poo! Cause its poo!

And Ive also found many people believe snakes are slimey.
 
Today I heard a great one. During class my teacher had us pair up with someone to "learn" about them. My partner a boy we'll call "R" asked what types of pets I have, so I told him. He wasn't freaked, but he asked where I kept the snakes. I told him once they are housed in my bedroom.

His response, "Then where do you have sex?" I just kind of stared at him, then said, "Why are you asking?" R said, "Well, you can't have sex in the same room as snakes 'cause they'll attack you. The smell of sex makes them mean." I just kind of goggled at him and said, "Um, that's SO not true."

OK, well the weirdness of asking where you have sex aside (was he expecting an answer? "Why, in the middle of the road, just like that beatles song"), HOW exactly did he come by that information? I mean, how would anyone even go about proving a theory like that? Actually, never mind, a better question would be who would WANT to prove a theory like that. Geez.
 
When we went for the ultrasound to determine the sex for our first born, the doctor's assistant said "I think it is a girl, it is at a funny angle and I can't be positive." I asked "well, you are the trained eye, so what percentage odds do you give us?" Too which she replied "50/50". I said "hell, I knew that when I walked in the office.

What is the dumbest thing I've ever heard . . . ?? Hmmm, I'm a teacher, so there's the potential for one a day! :D

"There's no such thing as a stupid question." Yes there is, I've heard them.

"110%" I refuse to use this meaningless expression.

That's just off the top.

Not snake related, just teacher related. ( BTW I'm married to an elementary school teacher and some of the dumbest stories I've heard come from the other teachers! Bureaucracy related off course! )

I remember being in school and the teacher going to explain something by drawing a diagram on the board and they always start with the same apology. "Now forgive my artwork. I can't even draw a straight line." Hhhhhmmmmm. Well I AM an artist, have been so since I was a child and I can't draw a straight line! Drawing a straight line or a perfect circle freehand is one of the most difficult things to do. I know few artists that can. Get a ruler!

I totally saw that! I was like... Really? My 2.5 year old is three feet... And they can live for what, 25 plus years? I also found a few typos in the article, like "then" instead of "than," or vice versa, I don't really remember now. And some other stuff, so I just put it down. People... I tell you what.

My stupid stuff came from Ziggy. I've had people ask me if I'm afraid he's going to try to eat me or the dogs, and when I respond with "Only during breeding season," they get kind of confused... Or asking me what he eats, and they don't believe me when I explain he won't eat insects or meat because he's a herbivore. "But all lizards eat bugs..." Well, lemme go get a komodo and feed him some nice juicy crickets!
 
Talking to my Sis today told her that my girl has shed her skin for the first time since i got her, she told me that if i save a couple she would buy it off me so she could sell them as she new some one who knows how to work with leather. (I hope i'm adopted)

Well, you could probably have some fun proving that theory... Just think about it.
