My own mother once asked me if I was Jewish once and I've been going to a Baptist church with her and dad since I was born. I simply laughed and said, "Yes mother, I'm a Jew. Are you a nun?" Then she realized what she said and we both laughed. Now I kid her about that every time I get a chance. I don't think I'll ever let her get away from that one. ;P

I've been asked some amazingly moronic things in my lifetime, so it took me a while to decide how to answer this question.
My ex-husband is Asian (Japanese mother, Filipino father with an African great-grandfather) and I'm Caucasian. So our four children are actually tri-racial, but when they were all babies, they looked 100% Asian. One day, I was at the local mall with the kids; two were in a stroller and two were walking next to me. A lady walked up to me and remarked that the kids were all so well-behaved and beautiful (they really were, it's not just motherly pride that makes me say that). She then said, "well, I think it's wonderful that you adopted four of these children. There are so many Asian babies that need good homes."
I was speechless for a moment, then said, "ummmmm ... they're mine. My husband is Asian." She was very embarrassed, but I told her it was ok I wasn't offended at all (and I wasn't). My kids and I still laugh about it, actually.
EDIT: Primo, don't ever forget what your name means: you're number one, LOL.

It's no big deal to me. I have been with both, and it never felt any different. I would just be worried about him though, he's gonna be in a LOT of pain for a while when he's healing afterwards, haha. But, seriously, if that's what he wants, he should do it. He will probably feel better, and all around cleaner. (It's way easier for guys to clean themselves when they're circumcised, just because they don't have to deal with extra nooks and crannies, so to speak.) So yeah, I say let him go for it.

When I used to work at a psychiatric half-way house, we used to get some people who clearly were not ready to be out of the hospital.
This one young woman, actually quite pretty and very nice but with a "doormat" personality (poor thing), was trying to insinuate herself into a conversation my co-worker and I were having. She asked us if we needed help feeding the cows.
My friend and I looked at each other confused. "I am sorry, what cows?"
She pointed at the lawn and said, "The purple ones. You know, the ones that make the Bauhaus chocolates."
We smiled and shook our heads, "No that is all right, we can take care of it. Thank you though."
LOL

I've been asked why I'm so blind to the "fact" that the Earth is hollow, and the stars are just city lights. How could I be so blind to how science was brainwashing me? Didn't I know that the people of the Middle Ages had it right?
The kid was serious.
I responded with a mass suicide of brain cells.

Someone once asked me if I was Asian.
I am Irish. I have blond hair and very pale skin that flushes easily. I have absolutely no idea how one would get the idea that I was Asian.
Not to mention the fact that the person knew my last name, which as I said, is Irish.

The weirdest thing i have ever been asked was for my boyfriend and I to "swing". I said, "NO!!!!" and my boyfriend (now my husband) and I left and never did anything with those people again.

A relative that is a former RN asked me what the life expectancy was of our adopted daughter. She is disabled, but healthy. I just said, I doubt know, but I was hurt.

When I was working in Washington, D.C., I had an old classmate come up to me and ask, "Do you know me?" It took me a bit but I did remember her. I simply said, "Yes, I believe I do. Didn't we go to school together?"
Most people would ask, "Don't I know you?"

While I was working at a low paying job, a customer asked me if my parents are first cousins (guess he felt I must be mentally impaired working at a menial job). I laughed and said, "how did you know?"

As a Damn Limey (not only am I a Brit, but I live in the US) I was asked if we celebrate the 4th of July in Britain.
I said yes, it was all a subtle plan to get rid of our religious nuts and malcontents.
