I'd hate to further diminish your respect for the average american, so let's pretend this was a european. It was this documentary on swedish television where the reporter interviewed people in a suburb about the middle east.
One guy said that when they're done with Iran there will be nothing left but a crater. The reporter asked the man to point out on th ...[text shortened]... he pointed to the map and said (with utmost certainty): "There!", pointing at New Zealand.
I have a few. If it bugs you that im posting more then 1, i'll post them all in a row next time.
1)I once had a couple of americanswalk up to me and ask me to remove a rodent hiding under the side of thier hotel (I dont know why they asked me. I aint rodent patrol). As we walk around the corner the man is describing it as "a grey creature. Probably some sort of giant rat, but with an extremely long tail.". at 1st im a little worried but then as i look under the side of the hotel, a little grey squiral pokes his head out and runs off. I simply laugh and say:"thats just a squiral. Dont you have those in the US?". the man slowly and carefully explains: "gray squirals? No, we dont, but im sure you'll forgive us for bothering you." And as they walk off i hear the lady mumble. "poor Canadians, cant tell a rat from a squiral."
Wasnt really a question, but still quite stupid.
2) I was on vacation in Boston, US, and I start a convorsation while waiting for a train with this lady. She then asks me where im from and i say "Canada." The lady seems puzzled at first and then with a profound look on here face says: "Oh, All the way down there, huh. How many weeks did it take to get here?" I simply smiled and laughed. She wasnt joking.

Oh, and here's (restarted firefox and now I can type ' again) a really stupid story. I met this guy at a local bar. There weren't any ladies present, so we started talking a while about this or that to keep the clock running. Then he asked me what I was doing for a living. I said I'm a programmer currently in the process of writing my first PHP application u ...[text shortened]... .
He had no idea what I was talking about! Pfffffft... Common knowledge if you ask me. 🙂

Being from SA and having lived in Europe and America I tend to get asked very stupid questions by the people living there, and them having no idea about where I come from cept what they see in movies.
The most stupid question I got asked was "so what sort of animal do you ride to work?" quickly followed by "was it dangerous with all the lions running arou ...[text shortened]... the week just like back home?
