Me: Hey, is Martin Luther King Day the same as Good Friday?
Jack: *confused expression* ... Do you even know what Good Friday is?
Me: Umm, the day after Fat Tuesday?
Jack: *mouth drops in look of complete bafflement* Uh, no. Fat Tuesday is the end of Mardi Gras, I think.
Me: Yeah, and Good Friday is the day you have to be good after you eat a lot on Tuesday, right? ... ? ... Wait, I'm thinking of Thursday. ... I'm confused.
Jack: Good Friday is the Friday before Easter. It's supposed to be the day that Jesus rose up from the grave... or something like that.
Me: *finally realizing how dumb I was being* Oh, so I take it Martin Luther King wasn't there?

Ok, maybe no one will think that was funny, but everyone in the office here had a good laugh (at my expense, of course). I must've been having a goofy moment or something.
