strange reference questions



My favorite:

A woman asked for a color image of John Deere. We said we had none, to which
she was surprised. I provided her with several black and white images, and
she asked me again if we could provide the copies in color. When I said no,
she looked at me with a straight face and asked, "Don't you have a color
copier?"

After explaining that a color copier only copies in color when the original
image is in color, she finally understood.
