Knowledge/Ignorance amnesty.

[Tielemans63]

My Dad, who is incapable of being serious, told me when I was about 5 or 6 that black babies were born white until the sun quickly turns their skin a darker shade.

 

10 years later, in a Biology lesson, I proudly shared this bit of trivia with my Science teacher and 25 of my classmates - I got absolutely ripped for years after that. My close mates still remember it now, it even made it into the best man's speech when I got married - my Dad almost pissed himself laughing.

Perhaps we should start a song lyrics amnesty.

I worked with a bloke who was terrible.

Chumbawamba."I get knocked down,like a lumberjack"( like that made sense.are there not H&S rules in place to stop accidents)

Bob Marley." No woman,no child"(this makes more sense ,his mrs as left him and taken the child)

I always thought it was

 

"These boots were made for walking

The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these"

 

Thought it was music's greatest Faux Pas. Until I saw the proper lyrics were

 

"These boots were made for walking

The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these"

Up until a few years ago I actually thought original Ginger Beer had beer in it. Turns out it is just ginger, sugar, water and lemon juice.

I always thought the term was 'a mind of information'.

 

And even though I pride myself on football knowledge I'd never heard of Denis Law until I was 18.

Until last year, I thought the song "It's raining men" was actually "It's raining, man" - as in "Dude, look outside, it's raining". I really didn't listen to the lyrics too closely.....when everyone pointed it out, I looked like such an idiot

 

I also have a friend who keeps thinking that the Eiffel 65 song is "I'm blue, if I was green I would die". Says it all the time, and I've never had the heart to correct him.

So at the age of 16 you still thought black people just tanned quicker after being born

Yeh apparently it's mine. Mind makes more sense because your mind is full of information, so I just assumed it was that.

My Mrs used to think all birds sounded the same,but the different calls were a gauge of what mood they were in!

Nobody owning up to not knowing what/where the clitoris is then ?

 Obvious, duh! A mine is a deep seated source of something in abundance.
