Went to the grocery store yesterday, asked the fishmonger for a pound of the cooked jumbo shrimp. He starts to grab some, then drops them and looks up at me earnestly. "Would you like them steamed?"

"Ummm.... no, as they are already cooked," I reply.

"Yes, cooked, but..."

And then he starts putting them in a bag.

I can't even begin to count the number of people who, upon seeing me carrying my motorcycle helmet, ask:

"Do you ride a motorcycle?"

"No. I'm just a really bad driver and my insurance company makes me wear this. Here's your sign."
