Welcome!

We can all say stupid things at times. But have you ever heard someone say something so overwhelmingly, mind-numbingly, face-palmingly stupid that you felt the urge to share it with the whole world? We have. That's why we invented WhoInventedFoxes.com.

Here's a random selection of what we have to offer. Reload the page for more quotes.

Not very bright colleague observing me hand-rolling: "Do you like smoking tobacco?"
Me: "Yes. Do you?"
Not very bright colleague: "I don't smoke tobacco. I smoke cigarettes."

Overheard staff member in bookshop: "This says Pluto's a planet. Should we still be selling it now we know it's a star?"

Yes. Keep it for the little starlings.

Not to be prejudiced but I suspect the Americans could be some of our best contributors!

Ya think?

I don't *quite* believe that.

Hmm. A "Complaints" category, perhaps?
    Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009.
But called what? People will assume "Complaints" is what they need to click if they want to complain about WIF...
    Posted by JT on 15 Sep 2009.
I think it fits in "Travel" with the other recent submissions.
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 15 Sep 2009.
Fair enough - but I think there might be a place for it in the future, because shop staff and sales assistants have to meet the public face-to-face far more than anyone would choose so we may get several submissions of that type in future.

Fish died out...? Then what the hell was that thing I had for my dinner last night?!

A dinosaur?

Of all the places to want to go to... Canada? Really?
    Posted by Necropaxx on 18 Dec 2009.
Could it be Canada is the Promised Land? Been a lot of conflict in the Middle East over nothing if so.

I'm so gonna get a banhammer from that site for going around answering all the stupid questions with stupid answers...

I've been trying to do the same - but, remarkably, I keep getting awarded trust points!

It's not a serious death unless he owed you money.
    Posted by Necropaxx on 18 Nov 2009.
One was seriously killed. The other three were killed jokingly, then?

I think the responses are as funny as the questions: "Toddlers masturbate for the same reason that older children do: It feels good!" and "She may be just as curious about her genitals as she is about her fingers, toes, and belly button — and if she's recently switched from diapers to underpants, she may be able to get to them for the first time."
