militia camp - basic training. We had a couple of Ugandans in our troop, (immigrants from the Amin era). One was this articulate, quick-witted and likable dude the Major dubbed 'Mr. President' and the other was his badass brother. He was a short, but tough guy who snarled and challenged everybody. (I was a bit older and had to face him down once) We were in canteen and a solid younger lad, sitting with us, well-meaning enough, said with a look of total seriousness "Are there like still cannibals in Africa ?" As several expressions flashed across badass's face, Mr. President just said "well yeah, I mean you have men that like to eat man's ass !" We both split a gut, and the lad who asked it seemed truly chagrined, (even though its sorta true).

Regarding the word that rhymes with duck ? I actually invented it before I even knew what it was. I was looking at some encyclopedias when I was 6 (they were really cool illustrated 1960s versions) and I used to just sort of invent names for things I didn't know - I guess I wasn't learning english fast enough. Anyway, I came up with a series of nonsense 1 and 2 syllable nouns to describe a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs, and one of them was . .. .. .. .. My dad flipped, and slapped me. When he asked me where that came from I insisted on telling him the truth and he couldn't believe me, my look of injured innocence must have blown his mind.

More of a funny quote rather than a dumb quote:
"You know what guys ..... maybe Ghandi was an elephant!"
A friend of mine mumbled that at like 5 in the morning without any sleep and now that has become a longstanding inside joke amongst me and my friends.

"Some children are smart, while others are dumb."
-Someone in my class speaking about mental retardation stemming from some sort of genetic disease. He wasn't saying it to be mean, I think he just flubbed his words.
