Someone in my 14 year old daughters math class asked her what potatoes where made from

I think it's a reasonably common failing, like with people who don't realise that fish are animals, and hence meat.  A lot of people don't have a clue what it is they're sticking in their mouths.

An employee of mine asked me if clams were vegan.

Clams aren't too bad; at least they don't have a face and just kind of sit there most of the time like weird plants or fungi or something, and I could forgive someone for not knowing what they were.  There's nothing much like them on land; even snails have a discernible head and can be seen locomoting around and eating things.

14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

Well, it gets worse.  She thought that if clams were vegan then I would eat clam chowder.

Musta been a male advertising executive who came up with that one...
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

"I really need to get Walkers'd" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.   :orly:

At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately she began flattering him outrageously. The guy liked the young lady, but was taken a bit aback by her fast and ardent pitch. He was amazed when after 30 minutes she seriously proposed marriage.
 
"Look," he said. "We only met a half hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each other."
 
"You're wrong," she smiled. "For the past 5 years I've been working in the back of the bank where you have your account. I know all I need to know about you."
 
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.
