Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Last winter I got home form work to be told that there was something wrong with the brakes on her car.
On a frosty morning 'I braked at the top of the Beacon (steep hill) and they juddered so I decided not to go that way and turned back to go the other way.' (avoiding the steep hill but is much longer)
Me - that would be the ABS
Her - but why did it start doing it then?
Me....give up!

A few weeks ago a female friend came over for lunch in the garden. Now, the female in question is a super bright, three distinction degree and MBA'd type who's highly respected within her 9-5. She also has very little common sense, bloody awful general knowledge and even worse geography. This often leads me to play little games with her in the knowledge she'll have legs firmly pulled and good all round humour for all. The conversation came round to Brexit and the EU immigration issues within Germany and Poland...at this point I detected a major gap in her cranial capacity in understanding Poland's precise location 
after some discussion I suggested she draw Poland's location in relation to Germany and France...which in turn lead to me asking her to position other countries and to draw a map of Europe through to Asia. For your afternoon humour, here's a traced copy of her original sketch 
PS when asked, what happened to Benelux, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Israel et al, there was a clear blank in her cognitive activity!
Brilliant - I love how she has not only got Portugal in the wrong place but managed to split the country into to portugals both in completely the wrong place.... after some discussion I suggested she draw Poland's location in relation to Germany and France...which in turn lead to me asking her to position other countries and to draw a map of Europe through to Asia.

Will that be the Egypt in Europe, or the Egypt in Asia then? PS when asked, what happened to Benelux, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Israel et al, there was a clear blank in her cognitive activity!

Since there's no part of Egypt in Europe I'd presume he means the part that's in Asia, as Egypt is transcontinental.Nom de ploom said:

Why does Britain look like a cock and balls? Wait, don't worry about, I've worked it out. after some discussion I suggested she draw Poland's location in relation to Germany and France...which in turn lead to me asking her to position other countries and to draw a map of Europe through to Asia.

I asked my partner this question: If you were born 5 years ago, how old would you be now?
(Shes 31)
her: 25, no 26.
Shes not a school teached or nuclear physicist so I'll let it slide.
Someone was showing me a video on facebook or youtube the other day and they kids like 17/18 were being asked if you were born 5 years ago how old would you be? And they kept making the same mistake, no matter how much laughing and 'are you sure's' went on, it took ages for the penny to drop. I dont consider myself the sharpest tool, but just wow!(Shes 31)
her: 25, no 26.

i'll give my OH raps for this one.
yesterday I woke up coughing up a lung and she said sounds like a chesty cough I'll call Putin. I said no chesticov is bulgarian, centre half, alongside his mate ticklycov.
she replied saying that it sounded more flemish...
i'll give her that one!
