You say dear god! The fridge is in the kitchen! This phrase compares your friends stupidty with how difficult it would be to find someones fridge in their home. It's CLEARLY in the kitchen. How do you not know where to find the answer to the question? It's CLEARLY in the first paragraph. Another example would be something less complicated, such as the spelling of "your" and "youre". For example, someone comments on a facebook picture that you are tagged in, and says "your so pretty." My so pretty what? Learn to use proper english, like come on...the fridge is in the kitchen!
Bob: Where do i find Canada on a map of the world?
