Dumbest Thing Some Has Every Said To You

RE: Dumbest Thing Some Has Every Said To You
"This is all just for fun anyway.  Girls don't need college degrees.  You'll find a husband."   -- My female college piano professor, in 1983.

My Mother's reaction to a co-worker asking if she wanted to go to Spanish classes, so she could speak to Mexican co-workers: "They're in America. They should just learn to talk right."

A preacher, talking about the sun standing still for Joshua: "the rules of the universe do not apply to god! He made them and he can break them! He made the sun stand still with a thought and he took a star in his hand to lead the wise men to worship the baby Jesus!" 

Another preacher: "take those Beatles records and destroy them now! The devil himself recorded tracks backwards on those evil records so he could possess the souls of your children!"

My Mother's reaction to every question about every Bible contradiction (I gave up asking after about the 3rd try) "We don't know the reason. God wrote it, so it's perfect, and our human minds cannot understand it.  We will learn the answers when we get to heaven.  Now go pray for forgiveness for your foolish and evil questions."  

A preacher's answer to why dinosaur fossils exist:  "They're all fakes, planted by demon-possessed 'so-called' scientists to send our souls to the devil."  Another preacher: "They drowned in the flood.  Most of them were too big for the ark."  

I was raised Pentecostal and live in the Bible Belt.  I could keep this up for days.
"The family that prays together...is brainwashing their children."- Albert Einstein

Georgie boy was a handsome devil, that I agree with. He could have my soul any day.

My buddy's ex-girlfriend told me her clogged sink was full of coffee grounds because someone told her it would unclog the sink.

I keep doing my head in trying to think of an entry to this thread and being disappointed that I can't think of anything, but I just realized that that's a good thing and I appear to have the privilege of not hearing a crapton of idiotic shit. Unlike a lot of you. I'm sorry for y'all :|

As a result, I have literal structural deformities, including missing muscle groups (example: I didn't have much in the way of biceps, so the doctors transferred my pectorals to my arms... I have bitchin' parallel scars down my chest like railroad tracks), joint contractures, bone deformities, etc. It's considered a form of Muscular Dystrophy. I've had 43 surgeries, most when I was very young, to give me the mobility I enjoy today.

So, due to my disability, I've heard a bunch of dumb shit, like:

It could be cured by seeing a chiropractor (a guy I used to play an online game with)
It could be cured by changing my diet (a dental hygienist I used to see)
It could be cured by prayer (multiple people)

Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg, but you get the idea.

That reminds me of another competitor in the Stupid Sweepstakes -- gal asked me about my obvious limp, I explain to her what AVN is ... and she recommends I take up yoga.

Yeah, NO.
