Today, my genius boyfriend was trying to remember a particular island in the Caribbean that was used by pirates in the past. I offered up Morocco. I heard him facepalm over the phone. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he wanted to drive to India. Thinking he meant Indiana, I said sure, knowing I have friends there. He said, "Bangladesh, India, here we come!" He was serious. FML

Today, my father bet me $200 that since my boyfriend is "such a stupid shit," he wouldn't be able to locate Paraguay on a map. I gladly accepted the bet. Not only did he not know where it is, he actually accused us of making the country up. FML

¿Dónde estás?

Today, an old friend of mine landed in Spain, where he's visiting me. After a few minutes talking about where we should meet, we realized the reason he couldn't figure out where it was, was probably due to the fact that he was in Barcelona. I live in Madrid. FML

Today, my dad asked me how I would feel about going on an all-expenses-paid, month-long holiday to the Caribbean. I was ecstatic and broke into tears of joy, saying I'd love it. He replied, "Yeah, me too. Shame it ain't happening!" then left for work, laughing his arse off. FML

Today, my boyfriend used the "this isn't working, we need to talk" line on me. How nice of him to wait this long to do so, just days after we returned from the expensive Caribbean holiday that I paid for. FML

Today, my fiancée informed me she wants us to go on a cruise for her birthday. I replied, "Ahhh cruise ships, the Walmart of the Seven Seas." She threw a mixer at my feet and told me I ruin everything. FML

Today, I organised a romantic day trip for me and my boyfriend to some tropical gardens. I packed lunch and paid for the tickets. He decided to bring a friend, who doesn't speak English. The only thing that he said that I understood was that, "Your girlfriend eats a lot." FML

I don't even want to know what they are teaching kids in school these days. He should have reached through the phone and slapped you. Buy a world map and then you can slap your own head.

I don't think knowing Morocco is not an island nor in the Caribbean makes your boyfriend a genius.

HE obviously knows Morocco is not an island, hence why he facepalmed when she said it.

Most Americans lack any real knowledge of world geography, the news, math and science, and generally what the hell is going on in the world.... signed a guy who actually graduated top ten percent in high school.... its rare to see people go to college anymore with a real degree ? even do a masters ? sigh.

It's not just Americans, that is a stereotype. I happen to be fairly adept at all of those things. Just think how stupid the average person is. By definition half the world's population is dumber than that! The rest of us are screwed.
