I'm not generally lacking intelligence, and I regularly do Cryptic Crosswords and Lateral Thinking quizzes etc. But my husband still cringes at the time I joined a conversation re: Libya, and talked about my brother's term of duty there. A petrified forest was mentioned. "But I think it pretty dead around there" says I. Someone asks 'is she for real'. Husband, chokes, turns away, and pretends to be married to someone else!

If the grass is greener on the other side, its sure the water bill is higher !
There was that other time, when I was about 18 and at college. I was on stage as a finalist for the title of 'Rag Queen' for that year's Charity Rag Festival.
One of the panel asked me if aqua marine was my favourite colour.
I said I didn't know
He said 'but you are wearing an aqua marine coloured dress'
I said 'oh! I didn't realise; I borrowed it from my sister'
Ouch! LOL. Didn't know you too were a part of that elite league! Sorry, but am sure you'd excuse me for picking on blondes as I've never met you. :)
Just one first hand information of blonde moment for us from all the years your life? :( Thats disappointing! LOL.
Yeah, it was a mistake from her for sure, I guess everyone is entitled to make a few. It's a rarity that very few actually make it live on national television, let alone making blunders while you're at it.
I've had many myself! One of my more memorable ones was when I announced I thought Slalom was a mountain in Switzerland, but that was a long time ago and best forgotten :D
It was cos I kept hearing the commentators on TV saying: 'and now he is going to attempt the Slalom'
I quite liked her revised answer on NBC Today, a day after her goof up. She admitted on the show of going blank at that particular moment and didn't actually hear the question correctly.
The revised answer was something like, "My friends an I know where the Unites States of America is on the world map. But if the statistics are indeed correct then more emphasis should be laid at Geography in schools to correct the situation" or something like that. Am sure she'd have had a lot of time on her hands and inputs from her friends towards this answer. She did a good job of memorizing it and vomitting out in one straight sentence live on national TV. :)
Wow! That was another blonde answer. Did you see the video of Lauren Caitlin Upton's blank moment? The Miss Teen 4th runner up. Your answer was pretty close to hers! :)

Anyone could have made the same mistake!
I'd rather call it a "Blonde moment". ;)

There was a thread started by mir about this earlier today - it seems to be on-running from that. Maybe look at that thread?
There's a YouTube thing showing this poor, nervous soul getting tongue tied and cut to ribbons by the media as a consequence.
Maybe because some Americans think America IS the centre of the universe...
