Can People Really Be So Clueless!

These questions about South Africa are actual questions posted on a South African Tourism Website.  Answered by the website owner (great sense of humor this guy!).

A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Are there supermarkets in Cape Town and is milk available all year round?

    Last year somebody asked me if I had a pet lions and if I go to school on a elephant… I told him I didn’t have a pet lion, but I was mates with one… so I sent him a picture of Jaque Fourie standing outside my mom’s car… what an idiot… :mrgreen: … however he didn’t get it… which made me laugh even more

    My faves!

    Phew, thankfully no Canadian queries.
    Also, why don’t more people Google stuff, or you know, read? They could get all their information there instead of being immortalized for the idiocy on websites.
