This happened to Deb and I at the Coleman's BBQ in Hernando week before last.
Pulled up to Colemans with boat behind my truck. Walked in to order. While we were looking at the menu on the wall, the clerk ask "Have y'all been fishing?" Now remember this, I've got 12 14' trolling poles attached to the side. I looked at just as serious as I could be and said "No, we've been riding around looking for eagles" and her reply was "There's a bunch of them around".
And to top it all off, there was a little old sweet lady walked up to the counter and ask "What's on a BBQ plate?" I said "fried sardines and your choice of potatoe salad, slaw, or baked beans".
