As you may or may not know, although he is American and has always been American, my father looks like he could be from a Middle Eastern country or somewhere of the like. (Thus explaining why we're always mysteriously pulled over in airports for further bag inspection... But that's a different story... Anyway-)
A few days ago, my father was getting coffee. After handing him his drink, the lady behind the counter proceeded to make friendly conversation. She asked him, "So, do you have any big celebrations planned this weekend?"
Well, that was random. "Um," he began, "Well, I'm watching the Giants play on Sunday...?"
Later that day, it occurred to him that the lady assumed he was celebrating Diwali.
