I've got a couple...
A girl that used to be our receptionist, in a conversation about unusual foods said, "Oh yeah, eggplant, that's where eggs come from, right? I couldn't think of a reply so I said "No, that's aubergine!" (True story, except the aubergine comment)
Now on this second one, I have to be careful or I'll get myself in trouble. I have a female relative by marriage who happens to be an elementary/middle school teacher. At a family dinner one time I mentioned that my sister was moving to San Francisco. To that, this relative replied, "San Francisco? That's in California, right?"
