Had a bunch of Yanks in the cockpit just before the 1999/200 new years thing.
One of them asked me if the plane was fly by wire - It was a 747-200 - to which I replied, "Yes, it has wires that go from the bottom of the control column here", pointing down, " to the back of the tail, so it's Year Two Thousand BC compliant."

Blank stares, vacant eyes ....

Then there was the bunch of ruby-league footballers I took to Blackwater in a Metro. Without a doubt the daftest bunch of cretins I've come arcoss.
on arrive in Blackwater I found two of them in the frieght area, as they'd snuck behind the divider screen.
Getting on & off the plane on the weak Metro stairs was a bit of a mental challenge for them as well. Veyr cleary a few times I told them "ONE AT A TIME PLEASE, THE STAIRS AREN'T VERY STRONG."
So of course that meant at least two had to be on them at any one time.
There's more, but .... argh!
