The sarcasm in this Fark link reminds me of a situation I was in about 35 years ago while taking a bus to my job at NASM. We passed by the Washington Monument, and the 30ish woman sitting besides me asked me in a perfect American accent what it was. She was very polite about it, and I tried to be to, and hopefully managed to mask my complete and utter surprise when answering her. More surprisingly, I resisted the many devilish temptations that are constantly running through my mind, and told her the truth, rather than making up some much more entertaining pack of lies.
