Pturner,
I thought this was a funny one. I had some Europeans (Dutch) come into town (Atlanta) for a meeting and I was the social guy, took 'em out to dinner and such. I'd gone there on business and knew these guys, so they were "friends" and we enjoyed each others company.
I took them to a pretty nice restuarant (on the expense voucher of course LOL) and there was some kind of "corn" thing as the vegetable of the day.
They kept saying "corn?? what is this corn" and I was trying to explain what corn looks like. Finally, one of them got it, like a light bulb over his head, and he said
"Corn!!! We call it maize. That's what we feed the pigs!"
and we all just busted a gut laughing.
