You're watching Deadliest catch and the map shows Wizard 60 miles NW of Dutch.

You convert it to hexes and plan a Naval attack......

You go to your grandchild's birthday party, and try to strike up a conversation with the adults about the 41-42 Japanese offensive down the Malaysian pennisula to take Singapore.
 
After the resulting silence, I shift to "Malaysia is an interesting country--you are probably wearing something from there"--mercifully allowing the discussion to shift to fashion.
Number one principle: The inherent worth and dignity of all people.

When one of your coworkers says they are going to Soochow, and you say "That's right outside Shanghai" - so they ask how you know that, and you're not sure you want to answer.

Recently played a very old version of Dutch Trivial Pursuit which had questions that a young Belgian just shouldn't know. Like "what was the old name of Jakarta?" The same situation occurred.
