A true story...

I was standing at the bar on Monday evening with friends, looking at a newspaper photo of fearless Felix launching himself towards the Earth and discussing his achievement.

The young barmaid, whose knowledge of news extends no further than OK! and Hello! magazines, picked up on the conversation and asked in all seriousness:

"Did he jump off the moon?"

To avoid being lynched by the women I know, there is no prize for guessing the colour of her hair.

And what is even scarier. Some guys even get married to them!

I'm married to a blond.  While she's no dummy (BS in math), she sometimes makes statements that make me face palm.   

A while back I was watching a documentary on the Kursk.   Russian sub that sank after a large underwater explosion.  Those with a knowledge of history will know that the sub was named after the battle of Kursk, in which the USSR defeated a major German armor attack in WWII.  Anyway, wife comes in and watches for a moment.  She then says, "What did they expect, naming the sub "Cursed?"  I never let her forget that one!

My late wife was very intelligent and well-educated; languages were her forte, but as part of her MA in the '80s, she did some sound-related research into voice synthesis and acoustics.

But I had to explain that the lightning, not the thunder, came first...
