A few years ago I was in London, England and I met some girls from Cleveland, Ohio at the hotel bar. They were doing some travelling around Europe, and said they want to go to Paris, and asked how they should get there. I told them they have a few options including catching a ferry. They asked why they would catch a ferry, and I said because Paris is across the water, to which they replied "What water? Like a lake or something?", to which I replied "across the English Channel, it's part of the Atlantic Ocean", this totally had them confused and they asked "but we already crossed the Atlantic Ocean, we're in Europe", to which I replied "yes, but we're in London, which is in the UK, which is an island seperate from the rest of Europe", to which they replied "it is?"
