Have you ever heard someone make a comment and think that was stupid, why did you say that?

For example, I just heard a co-worker say, "I've never been there so it should be fun."

What about the fact that you never have been there makes it fun?

I used to work with a lady who wouldn't give blood because she 'could get AIDS'. That was one of the stupidest things I'd ever heard.

I also worked with another lady who upon reading the calories in a can of soup, thought that if you didn't add the water you would only get half of the calories.

lol, well if someone has never been to a place that everyone says is a great place to go to, then it will be new to them when they first go and therefore it will make it more fun.

First off, "it should be fun" is inccorect. "fun" is a noun when what we should be looking for is a verb to get the sentence structure correct.

I was watching a show last night and the lady they were interviewing said "no matter how you slice it it's still a bag of worms." My hubby and I just look at eachother and laughed. What the heck was that supposed to mean!

One of my favorite comedians, Lewis Black, touched on this in one of his specials. The all time stupidest thing he ever heard was:

"If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college"

He also warns you to not think about that too long or your ears will start to bleed.

I hate it when someone says something stinks, and then they try to get you to smell it. Um, no. I think I'll take your word for it
The funny thing is, if you watch, most people will still take a sniff!

So 3 farmers are out walking in a field and they come across a big pile of brown matter. First farmers says that looks like s*it, why don't you smell it. Second farmer picks it up and smells it -- "sure, smells like sh*t, but I'm not sure." Third farmer sticks his finger in it and licks it off -- "Tastes like s*it" he says. First farmer says -- "Good thing we didn't step in it!?

You should have had a no-drinking warning on this one. I about snorted my pepsi.

I hear a lot of people say "I could care less." Well if you could care less, then why don't you? Personally, I couldn't care less.

Even more irony . . .

The sentence already has a verb ("be") and doesn't need another one. For example, to say "It should be throw" would be stupid. What you're looking for is an adjective, and "fun" is both a noun and an adjective.
