Not a joke... happened for real. Subject was death penalty... and actually had a guy ask how often the Queen ordered the beheading of people
Another was in Fla... in a face to face about shipping some computers to a Caribbean island. We chatted about the Caribbean in general and from the conversation it seemed fair to assume he knew where the Caribbean area was - basically just off the coast of that part of Fla.
Then he's writing up the paperwork with addresses etc and asks the specific address of the island... "That's in the Indian Ocean isn't it?"
Ruins your faith in the human species :-)
