Oh, all right...
When I met the woman who would eventually become my wife, she was living in a student
hall of residence. When she arrived there, another resident introduced herself.
Exchanging the usual pleasanteries, my wife-to-be was asked what she studied. Upon
hearing the reply 'medieval studies', the other person paused and said, 'Wow, I bet
your room must be REALLY cool!', and asked (in all seriousness) if she had painted
the walls of her room black, and if she knew everything about Merlin and King Arthur.

PS to Christopher Crockett: behave yourself, or I won't send you a Havana cigar.
