(I am waiting with several other people for a long distance bus driving from Berlin to Luxembourg City. Some of them are chatting in French. A guy approaches me who seems to be travelling alone and who has been observing all the others around him.)
Guy: “Where is Luxembourg City?”
Me: “Um, Luxembourg City is located in Luxembourg.”
Guy: “What?!”
Me: “Well, ‘Luxembourg’ is the name of the country and its capital.”
Guy: “Uh-huh. And what language do they speak there?”
Me: “Besides Luxembourgish, also French and German.”
Guy: “Whaaat?! That’s weird! These people are so stupid.”
