Outrageous things you've heard people say

What are some of the unbelievable things you've heard people say? A few of mine:

At a party one night we were talking about an upcoming solar eclipse when I asked a friend if he knew what caused one. His answer: That's when the sun comes between the earth and the moon.

When I was a kid, my brothers and I went to the grocery store with my dad. While looking at the steaks my dad balked at the price of filet mignon steak saying "I'm not paying 5 bucks a pound for a piece of cow." (This was 1967ish)
My 9-year old younger brother said "Filet Mignon comes from a cow? I thought it came from some rare animal."

I spent the night with an old girlfriend years ago and in the morning around 6 a.m. a couple knocked on her door to drop of their child for her to babysit. My gf didn't respond. They knocked again and this time she answered the door. "Sorry, I didn't hear you the first time."

Driving home from the beach one day with another one of my bright girlfriends I noticed and mentioned we were almost out of gas. She said "Better hurry up and get home before we run out."

You want unbelievable, just read some of the discussion forums. It doesn't matter what the topic is, someone will make a statement that is off the planet. Comments threads on news sites are another goldmine.

Years ago this famous politician was on the radio
and he said to the presenter the following,


There are people out there making wild allegations about me,

and when I find these alligators............................................................

( Silence after realizing what he said )

"Wait, Wait, I Dreamed a Dream."

I should add something that came from me.

One morning one of my dogs, Cutie Pie, was barking loudly. I looked outside and she was barking at a group of high school girls on their way to school. I yelled out "CUTIE PIE!" and they all turned around.

I am now officially the neighborhood creep.

"And the USA is Dumbing Down its Military?"

Why is it when someone says, "Did you hear that (insert a name) died?" Lots of people respond with, "You're kidding".

During teacher-training I pointed out to the class teacher that what she had
just told the class was a commonly held misbelief and actually untrue. She
replied "It doesn't matter - so long as they learn something"
