You could have said:
Boy, was that concert the essence of masterliness!

One of my favorite (from a friend of mine, who just happens to be a drummer, not that that is important or relevant in any way, but, well, you know...):
"What day does Friday fall on this week?"
It took us a while for that to actually sink-in, then we were in the Pub at the time, we sort of looked at each other, puzzled and confused, until someone finally replied (with a completly straight face):
"Sunday."

Speaking of drummers, I understand Mike Rutherford once said "we could always let Phil write the songs..."

As the old joke goes, what do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A drummer.

Sounds like the kind of reply I would make.

I once witnessed this guy ask for "passionate" leave rather than "compassionate" leave... the thing is, he was none the wiser as to his mistake, so the rest of the room were sniggering.

(Brittish accent) "I think the album should've been done in Dubly!" jk
I really don't know what the dumbest thing I've ever said is.....there are too many to count. Ohhhh...I can think of a good one; When I was in eighth grade my history teacher asked what annually meant.....I responded by saying that it meant weekly(ROFL)! It's really surprising for that to happen to someone like me because I seriously love learning about etymology.If I think of any better ones I'll keep you all posted.

Not me, a girl I know
A few years ago in Literature class the teacher read a chapture from Shakespeare´s Hamlet and this girl asks.
"And did he write this before he dies...?"
That was so stupid we could not laugh right away, we were so shocked this stupid thing could be said, true story.
hehehe this one I like very much, first of all let me enlighten you in something, here in Argentina there is no smaller bill than the 2 pesos one, up from there its all coins
so this guy comes in class and asks, in all seriousness
"Does anyone have change for 2 pesos, possibly in coins?"
we still laught at this today, and it has been almost 4 years now

Myself again: talking to girlfriend about the sheer mastery of Brueghel, I said the folowing: "For me, this has a kind of beauty that is really beautiful".

I tend to say something idiotic whenever I open my mouth, so I sometimes play dumb in public (pretend to be incapable of speech).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Not something to brag about, but in the 50's or 60's there was a politician here in Québec that said so many stupid things in public, two of which are still spoken about to this very day :
"Before beginning my speech, I would like to say something..."
and also :
"The previous Government brought us on the edge of the precipice ! And I can assure you that we will do all we can to go one step further!"

By any chance was this person a relative of George W. Bush?

Former Chilean dictator A. Pinochet Ugarte:
"I have lots of books in my bedroom. I read about everything. I have books about strategy, history, geology, novels. I'm always buying books, and I read every night. I think I read like about 15 minutes and then I fall sleep"...

I had a family come to check in at Reception a little while ago, and I asked the parents 'Would your little girl like to use the games room?'.
The disgusted mother replied, actually Jamie's a little boy...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
