While working at an LFS, someone walks up to me and says, "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" I said sure, and followed them. They brought me to a saltwater tank. They pointed to a fish and asked if that fish was freshwatwer or saltwater. I said saltwater. They hesitated for a moment, and asked "How about this one?," pointing to another fish in the same tank! Wow...
This is still funny as heck three years later.

a woman in maine noticed my license plate asked if i had come down to the states from canada to buy fruit cus canada was too cold for fruit. i was only 20 min over the border so i figured she was just messing with me so said i was indeed fruit shopping. dead serious, she advised me to buy my bananas green and when i got them home they would turn yellow for me. really...
you can't take anything for granted with these dang canadians.

You wouldn't believe the number of people I've had walk up and ask if I hurt my leg..... I walk with crutches. My typical answer is "No, I just carry the crutches to get people's sympathy"
Back in my working days I used to fix copiers. You would be amazed the number of people who would walk up to the machine with me kneeled down in front of it with parts all over the floor and say "Is it alright if I make a copy, I just need 1?" My favorite was "do you know where all that goes?" to which I'd hold up a part and say "Did you happen to see where I took this from?" That got some interesting responses

Customers like to watch me work. With their transmission in ten thousand pieces, I'd look up and say "Boy, I wish I'd paid more attention when I took this puppy apart" and watch them turn white in horror.

This one always made me laugh when walking my old 85lb English Bulldog who growled if we walked past anyone:
"Does your dog bite?"
"Yes, please don't try to pet him, he bites anyone he doesn't know"
"Oh, wow, can I pet him?"
"Sure, if you only want to have one arm for the rest of your life"
and then they'd still proceed to try a good 75% of the time

The Civil War was right after WWI, wasn't it?
