LOL!
Mind you, possibly not so funny, as I've heard working hours can be pretty long!

Re: Seemingly daft questions.
I'm a teacher and have been doing quite a lot about Australia with my class because they want to know about where I'm going. They come out with some beauties though.
What language do they speak?
Do they have Christmas?
Do you get rain there?
Bless them!

Re: Seemingly daft questions.
We were staying with husband's sister and the brother in law (Kiwi) one christmas in Perth. On Christmas Day, we were talking about christmas stuff (as you do) and he asked "Do you have Boxing Day in England". He was straight up. I can't remember what I said but it was probably sarcastic

Re: Seemingly daft questions.
My husband and I met through a chat room. It was run by an American guy and had loads of Americans who were part of the scene. And I'm NOT implying a general lack of intelliigence across the board here..but...some of them were too hard to believe.
On enquiring where I lived I replied that I was in Perth Western Australia. One chap chipped in with...Oh I know where that is. It's just down below Texas!
Another believed that we regularly ate koala steaks as they were considered worse than vermin really. I had a pet roo which I rode to work...etc...etc...
